Audio Experience

My Master's Thesis Project uses a series of music experiences that choreograph movement and encourage interaction with the built environment. I created a series of models that produce sound, using different types of wood and metal. This aspect of the experimentation processes looks at the acoustic and spatial properties of materials. Using different materials (mostly woods and metals), I created a series of sound models. The series is a type of library of potential experiences.  The models are made with lengths of steel rods, tubes, and wire, strips of steel, bronze, and copper, strips of birch wood and pieces of bass wood. The models become an interactive surface, a musical instrument that can be manipulated to produce sound. In other words the models themselves are “playable”.
