https://vimeo.com/454239749 Condenser microphones, speakers, servomotors, iron Feeding is a sound installation work. There are eight units in the space. Each unit consists of a metal sculpture of a fishing rod, a condenser microphone, a speaker and a volume sensor. When the volume is too low, the string will relax so that the microphone will drop...

http://www.musicalswings.com The Swings is an interactive installation that offers a fresh look at the idea of cooperation, the notion that we can achieve more together than separately. Each swing in motion triggers different notes, all the swings together compose a piece, but some sounds only emerge from cooperation. The project stimulates ownership of the public...

http://youtu.be/LOxEmDpTzgM "The Atari Punk Console (commonly shortened to APC) is a popular circuit that utilizes two 555 timer ICs or a single 556 dual timer IC. The original circuit, called a "Stepped Tone Generator", was published in a Radio Shack booklet: "Engineer's Notebook: Integrated Circuit Applications" in 1980 and then in "Engineer's Mini-Notebook - 555...

"Fascinated by the work of English neurophysiologist William Grey Walter (1910-77), who invented small robots (called Machine Speculatrix) that simulated basic neurophysiological behaviour, Vogel was intrigued to discover that, with the help of sound and light sensors, such machines could react to the world. Thus, at a time when many artists were pursuing the idea... Continue Reading →
The Arduino has limited memory and processing speed, which makes real-time sound synthesis difficult. Usually people send MIDI from an Arduino to a capable output device of some kind. However the Mozzi library attempts to bring some synthesis chops to the Arduino itself. "Mozzi brings your Arduino to life by allowing it to produce much... Continue Reading →
2008. "Playing the Building is a sound installation in which the infrastructure, the physical plant of the building, is converted into a giant musical instrument. Devices are attached to the building structure — to the metal beams and pillars, the heating pipes, the water pipes — and are used to make these things produce sound.... Continue Reading →

After added different color, the mix is then pour in the molds. 10 min later, the jelly shape can then be placed on the game board, and by touching the shape, the... Continue Reading →
"The CrudBox allows users to plug electronic or electromechanic devices into a 16 step, 8 channel step sequencer. While normal sequencers draw from a set bank of sounds, the CrudBox allows one to plug in devices such as turntables or solenoids or power tools, opening up the range of sounds one can sequence." http://rhizome.org/editorial/2010/aug/17/homebrew-electronics/ https://github.com/stevenlitt/Crudblocks/wiki/Introduction-to-Crudblocks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7pfgalBuBE A hack that uses an arduino to turn a cheap toy that has a now common 8x8 button grid into a miniature version of the well known open source Monome musical tool. Hack developed by Wil Lindsay, who also turned it into a standalone kit (without the arduino). Shows that you can utilize existing... Continue Reading →
