Shariq M. Shah – Looking Outwards 10 – Sound Art

The Cycling wheel project, by Hong Kong based practice Keith Lam, Seth Hon and Alex Lai, takes the concept of Marcel Duchamp’s famed bicycle wheel, in his readymade explorations, and transforms it into a generative light and sound instrument. In order to turn it into this interactive performance art piece, it uses Processing to create a specially made control panel configuration that functions on three levels: controlling music, movement, and LED lights. The processes take the movement of the bicycle wheel and uses it to generate a variety of sounds that are augmented by the control panel computation. The result is a magical interplay of light, music, art, and computation that makes for quite a spectacular interactive art piece. It makes me think of ways that other physical movements can be translated into dynamic soundscapes, a concept similar to what I tried to do for this week’s project. It is also interesting to consider how a variety of different sounds can be layered to produce an immersive soundscape experience, as this orchestral performance demonstrates.

For this project I wanted to do a “music app” design, and there are four songs to choose from the album, which can be paused and played by clicking the song titles or the pause button. I drew the interface from scratch in adobe illustrator and photoshop, and wrote the song names in the interface. This was a fun project, but implementing the soundtracks in the file was hard. (The soundtracks are actually only 1 minute long due to the file upload restriction)

The sounds included in my project are bubbling sounds, coins jingling, and a surprised noise. These can be played by clicking on the cauldron, coins, and pumpkins, respectively. The colored flasks on the top shelf can also be played, and they sound out glockenspiel notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B (from left to right). I wanted to create a project which could play notes once you clicked in different areas, and I decided to make it colorful. The flasks were the first things I designed, and I thought a Halloween motif would work for fitting in the other sounds.

In this project, I aim to create an interactive program that plays four different types of music genre. By clicking on the icon, you are able to choose to turn on and off each type of music. The most interesting condition is when you turn on two or three type of music together, when they are playing simultaneously, it creates a surreal and yet fun melody.

Weather Thingy example

This week I looked at a project called Weather Thingy by Adrien Kaeser. This project that uses a sound controller that takes weather and climate events to modify the musical instrument and the sound it makes.  

controller connected to the keyboard to play the music

Part of why I liked this project so much it is works in real time. It has sensors that collect data from the climate it is in and the controller interprets the data to create different sounds. The machine has a weather data collection station which includes a rain gauge, a wind vane and a anemometer. It also has a brightness sensor. The user then uses the interface to choose what sensor he is working with and uses a potentiometer to modify the data and create different sounds.

interface collecting data from the wind vane

I think this project is so interesting because of its presence in real time and its ability to act as a diary. This device can also store data from a specific time and then you can use that pre-recorded data later on. This way it is almost like a window to a certain time and what was going on then. I can see the potential of using this to see how climate change has affected the same spot over time. I can almost imagine a soundscape being made in one spot and then in the same spot 20 years later and see how different it is.

}

For this image, I created an image of a cat inside a house on a rainy day. I think it would be interesting if different sounds can be activated when the user clicks on different objects. If the user clicked on the cloud, the sound of a thunder storm would start and goes on for two minutes. If clicks on the cup a sound of water would be activated. And clicking the head or the body of the cat would activate two different sounds.

Crystal Xue-LookingOutwards-10

Christine Sun Kim, deaf since birth, explores her subjective experiences with sound in her work. She investigates the operations o sound and various aspects of deaf culture in her performances, videos, and drawings. She uses a lot of elements like body language, ASL(Amerian Sign Language) and so as her interpretation to expand the traditional scope of communication.

This particular project shown above is called “game of skill 2.0” is displayed in MoMA PS1. Audiences are invited to listen to a reading of a text about the future. Pathways are created in concert with the game’s console, causes the device to emit sound at a pace proportional to the participant’s movement. The physical scrubbing process is the direct interaction with the sound.

Apparatum

“Apparatum,” commissioned by Adam Mickiewicz Institute, is a musical and graphical installation inspired by the Polish Radio Experimental Studio, which is one of the first studios to produce electroacoustic music. It is the fruit of digital interface meeting analog sound. The sound is generated based on magnetic tape and optical components. Boguslaw Schaeffer comes up with his personal visual language of symbols and cues and composes “symphony—Electronic Music” for the sound engineers. With two 2-track loops and three 1-shot linear tape samplers, they obtain noise and basic tones. They utilize analog optical generators based on spinning discs with graphical patterns.
