Julie Choi – Looking Outwards – 11

This video shows how a person can interact with a musical machine Apparatum – Inspired by the Polish Radio Experimental Studio.

Created by a solo exhibition, panGenerator, Apparatum is made with a digital interface that produces purely electroacoustic sounds strictly through creating analog sounds. The visual language within this machine produces audio cues to create a collection of a symphony. I admire this project because it is an innovative way to create work of audio through customizable visual cues. Although there are many music producing machines, this work, in particular, is designed with two magnetic tapes to create tape samplers to collect the noise and base tone of the music. I also respect the physical design of this machine because it makes the user feel like they are in full control as it opens up an interactive space with the screen attached to the standing level of human height.
