Wind Harp


Pickups get the sound of the metal strings

This Wind Harp is a cool thing. It consist of long metal wires (I suppose piano strings, I once made a similar instrument, maybe I will turn it into a Wind Harp now?) that are tied and attached to a Guitar pickup for electric Guitars. The swinging of the ropes make sounds and the pickups get this sounds, to be further processed. The neat thing is, that Bill and Mark Sherman (Blog) set up a 24/7 livestream on Shoutcast. You can live-listen to this harp "until it breaks" and this actually sounds like cool ambient music.

Eggshell Sound Synthesis 01


Using a physical language.

"Eggshell Sound Synthesis" is a new method to generate sounds with analogue gear. It is meant as a very early prototype to give the bots physical ability to speech, apart form just using chip-sounds. As you can see we named it "Eggshell Sound Synthesis" and there is a lot of things to work out, but anyway - we made a start.
