Weather Thingy is a sounds controller that takes real time climate-related events data to control and modify the stings of musical instruments. It is made up of a weather station on a tripod microphone, and a custom built controller that is connected to the weather station. I think this is very inspiring for me because I had never thought of connecting weather data with sound production. This has sensors that observe the climate and assign various parameters received to audio effects. The creator’s artistic sensibilities, in my opinion, especially come in the very clear and minimal that makes use of clear color-coded buttons, as well as customized parts of the project as a whole. It is also notable that there are many real-time interactions going on.
