Looking Outwards-10

The project I am discussing this week is called “Weather Thingy–Real Time Climate Sound Controller.” Weather Thingy is created by Adrien Kaeser and is a sound controller that uses real time climate related events to control the settings of musical instruments. The device has two main parts–a weather station connected on a tripod microphone and a controller connected to the weather station. This machine has three climate sensors which includes a rain gauge, wind vane, anemometer. The interface of the machine displays the date from the 4 different sensors. This project is super interesting to me because it took a real life issue at hand and translated it into sound. I liked how the music can change based on the data it collects and it was really nice to see how the creator was able to take a musical approach towards this topic.
