For the Tuning In exercise, I decided to re-draw my “sound rose” from a previous assignment (A3: Mapping). The goal with this version was to use graphics instead of text to try and convey the same information. Here, the extent of each bar represents the frequency with which a sound was heard, and the colour saturation represents how loud it was (with dark being loudest).
For the Windplay assignment, I chose to make a sort of indoor wind chime driven by a rotating fan in my bedroom. A wooden cube suspended on a string from a guitar wall hanger is blown around by the fan and creates music by hitting and bouncing off of the guitar strings. One can create different moods by tuning the guitar differently. CLICK THE IMAGE TO SEE/HEAR A VIDEO OF THE DEVICE IN ACTION.
