As been advised my lecturer, that my projects should not be weighing on the electrical/ electronic circuit stuff and i guess i should focus more on the design approach. I've been doing some research on the gadgets/devices art.
I've been amazed by the art of alternative musical interface, since its seems related to my project and the experimentation of the installation is logical and rational to me, i guess it's really catch my beats on this.
Hydraulophone
My research on alternative musical instrument lands on a study of hydraulophone.An instrument that work as a tonal acoustic instrument, its played by direct physical contact with water based. The sound is generated hydraulically. Basically it is an alternative instrument for trumpet or any woodwind based instrument, the different is, it using water as the main method to produce sound.
The first was created by professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto named Steve Mann.
this is the sample of the projects
from the installation we can really assume how experimental it is, combining a physic theory with some musical stuff. I wished my projects can be more like this and pleased the user with some inspired stuff.
Virtual Midi Theremin
This is another project by Ken Moore, he is visualized his vision to make a simple musical instrument.
This DIY instrument that inspired by theremin, and wiimote is been used as a platform. As for me this is something very related to my project, the set up of this project is affordable and its pretty exciting! The most awesome thing about this design is, it's not restricted to the sine wave sound of a traditional Theremin so the sonic possibilities are endless, and you can create your own sound or just attach your favourite midi and tune it your way, play like a professional theremin-ist.
Laser Harp
The most awesome-ness instrument ever build by just an arduino. The projection of this installation really gets me on my nerve and provokes me to use my Arduino to create a physical interface that affects the user environment and create a wow factor to them. I really wanted to do this kind of installation, I wished my arduino behave well and be kind to me, so I can give my best shot to do this(hopefully)
i seriously like this idea. main piano dkat air. awesome! h2organ
