Each sound sensor is attached to a weather station on a tripod microphone to measure speed, rain, direction of wind, as well as a brightness sensor to assess ambient levels of light. Then, the sensor transforms the weather-events into MIDI inputs, which adjusts settings like chorus, pan, decay and LFO through a custom instrument panel. I found it really intriguing that the device interprets the differing stimulation of weather and connects user&rsquo;s input to produce a variety of audio effects on the keyboard with a pair of knobs and four audio buttons. I really admire how weather can be rendered into auditory technology and computational data, and how Kaeser simply collaborated with the environment to compose an interesting musical piece. Kaeser&rsquo;s artistic sensibility surfaces when he first came up with the idea of musical weather contraption, and later actually plays the music in such a novel way along with the nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reference: https:\/\/medium.com\/@JeremySCook\/hear-the-environment-with-this-weather-thingy-c0d0502fca0e<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adrien Kaeser&rsquo;s &ldquo;Weather Thingy&ldquo; is a sound and computational art that uses real-time climate-related data to create custom-built sound effect and control the musical instruments.
