Margot Gersing – Looking Outwards – 04

The sound art I was inspired by this week is a project called Apparatum by panGenerator Collective.

This project is a machine with an interactive digital interface that only makes analog sounds. It is inspired by Polish Radio Experimental Studio which created the first electroacoustic music. The musical inspiration is from Symphony – Electronic Music composed by Boguslaw Schaeffer.

My favorite part about this project is the combination of a graphic image, sound and a digital interface. I also really liked the interactive component of the project. The machine is based on magnetic tape and optical components that are controlled by a graphic score which was made on the digital interface. The software used to create the interface is electron (node.js) and teensy 3.2.
