LO – Sound Art

“Weather Thingy”, the invention by Adrien Kaeser uses real-time climate data to produce sound. The two main components are a weather station mounted on a tripod microphone, and a custom-built controller connected to the weather station. The controller will use variations on the weather, and the user’s input, to constrain or amplify values to produce different sounds on Kaeser’s keyboard. I am interested as to how this technology/application can be taken further. It would be interesting to see how this could be used long-term and produce music based on weekly or yearly weather.
