libratemo

An installation with balancing machine, piano string, piezo pickup and electromagnet. The end of a long piano string, a piezo pickup is attached and the other end, a strong magnet is attached. The signal from a piezo pickup is amplified and connected to an electromagnet. This electromagnet drives a magnet attached to the string, the vibration of the magnet is told to piezo via the string. Then feedback of magnetism and vibration is coming up. The position of the magnet is modified by the motor driven balancing machine. This machine sometimes interrupts the vibration of the string directly.

particle

This is the instrument with 9 electromagnets and segments of paper clips. Direction of currents for each magnets can be controlled individually from Pc. And magnetic field from electromagnets make paper clips move, and they create sound. When I play with this stuff, I control them randomly.
