Homemade Instruments Part One

This is my first experiment with making a homemade instrument. I found an old CD rack and started to play around with using guitar string, threading it through holes in the rack. Some videos will be up as soon as its tuned and working. The first experiments have been useful. Understanding the noises that can be made through tapping the box or using the strings. The Piezo Transducer Im using for the pick up really gives it a low-fi feel but still sounds really quite acoustic. A  Piezo Transducer is effectively just a buzzer wired backward and costs no more that £1.20 each.  This stepping stone will allow me to play more with the low end technology Im using to see how far i can push it. My next step is to start experimenting with glasses. hanging them close to each other and amplify the noises made.

Pomassl-Turntable Performance-"Bausatz Noto∞"

A friend showed me this. Finding it very useful to use as inspiration for a soundscape.

Video Feedback Loop

This is My first Experiment with Feedback looping. Very simple yet very effective. Im still looking into the possibility's it could have.

Creature in the Sonic Liquid

This effect is created by a water and cornstarch mix and then running Different Sound waves through the speakers. I think this video shows sound waves of about 120Hz.
I love how the shape are continuously changing and evolving. This is defiantly something i want too look into even if i leads somewhere or not.

Sound Experiments : Piezo Glass

Im In the process of making a contact microphone as cheap as possible. I love the endless these little microphones have. (you can attach them to almost anything) This footage shows the final outcome of what i what to achieve. My Experiments with be posted as soon as possible.

Sound experiments: Take One....

I am in the process of creating an interactive sound installation for a Luxury exhibition with Bryn White and Zoe Klinck. These are our first experiments. More images / video will be put up in a few days.
