Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
Speaking Metal

Location:   Expo Hall  211   

Sixteen channel speaker array made of hanging metal sheets powered by transducers stuck on the back. Driven via Max/MSP realtime transformations. Each 'speaker' has a very unique personality, and it serves as an interesting improvisatory space for a performer, a rich sound-installation space, or on its own, driven by midi-controllers. Development began at IRCAM, and now continues at CNMAT.
