‘No Pulse’ – Hitori Tori

June 28, 2011

A friend recorded me warming up for the Memetic Festival gig that I played at a few days ago in Winnipeg. Just thought I’d share this video that was recorded in my hotel room the night before the show. (warning: this video contains tracker speeds that may be too dizzying for some viewers- viewer discretion is advised)

Photosynthesis

April 22, 2011

A couple weeks ago, I participated in a terrific event called “DIY Instrument Tailgate Party” at Stanford University, hosted by Stanford Lively Arts and Thingamajigs, and Oakland-based arts group. All sorts of instruments were presented by a wide selection of Bay Area experimentalists. Musical devices were shown and played, using high tech Kinect camera vision, motor-driven robots, a giant tesla coil, a plate of steel, and even cardboard and plywood.

I made one of the smaller devices, using our Brain controller and Builder parts. Using 16 photoresistors pulled from a Jameco grabbag, I wired them into the Turn boards and made a simple Max patch to create the Photosynthesizer. Operated by light and shadow, it was a nice experiement in building an alternative controller, and a good example of a weekend project for the Brain.
Here’s some pictures and videos that explain how to get something like a photoresistor working with the Brain, as well as some photos of the event itself.

First, here’s a guide to hooking up a photoresistor to the brain, and getting MIDI output. While I specifically show a photoresistor in this movie, the basic premise of using a voltage divider (aka pulldown resistors) is true for any sort of 2-lead sensor, like a flex sensor, temperature sensor, or others.

Once I made sure it worked on the breadboard, I had to move it to the Turn board, and repeat 16 times. Of course, I wanted to make sure that I had everything right before I soldered it down. Here’s a tip on making sure you have your wires hooked up right to the Breakout board before you solder it down:

While building, I took some pictures of progress. One thing I did was to put the breakout boards underneath the 4×4 Turn board, which made it pretty easy to put together and reduced the footprint. It also gave the device some “legs” so it would sit stably on a table. Following those pictures are just a few pics from the event and a couple of movies. Enjoy!
