Cymatics = Visual Sound

 

Cymatics Scientist Says Sound is a Bubble, Not a Wave by Jodina Meehan
Check out the cool article linked above...

I've always thought of sound waves this way, but had never seem them represented like this. This is a great way to think about sound when mic'ing instruments or creating sound art.

monomnichord by Calum Scott

monomnichord from Calum Scott on Vimeo.

"A max/msp patch that uses a monome 40h and a stribe to emulate a Suzuki Omnichord."

It's wonderful to see music being made with a stribe1 alongside a monome.

stretta's procedures

stretta continues to blow my mind - this time with his monome app 'step filter' running inside Ableton Live

KORG MicroSampler



A nice run-thru of features on the new bang-for-buck sampler from KORG

Novation’s new monome controller in action. 3-color buttons, seamless integration with Ableton Live. Only apparent drawback is it only does MIDI via Automap mode. But at only $200! street it's definitely worth exploring.

I wonder when they're gonna make a Stribe?

Chladni form as output?

Weird thought of the day:

Thinking about capturing 2D blobs and turning them into sound. What about 2D blobs made by sound?

What if you videotaped the changing design on a chladni plate and then used software to turn that video into sound?



I posted earlier about a Chladni plate powered by a speaker.

Foxy's 16-stribe monster





16-Stribe Monster from Stribe Forum member Foxy

16 Stribes will be mated to a variety of button pads. See the build log and current status here

Foxy's next challenge is getting the Max patches sorted. I'm still a bit all-thumbs with Max myself. I can probably cobble something together, but if someone has or can make an elegant solution to run 2 8-stribe Stribes (2 Arduinos) and 2+ monomes (not sure if he's going Arduinome or using monome boards), please give a shout-out on the Stribe Forum!

Monome Meet 2009



video still of MakingTheNoise

I would have loved to be at this event in Princeton Oct 3 but just couldn't work it out. Hopefully there will be a next time... Some consolation is this great Vimeo page with tons of great footage: http://vimeo.com/groups/monomeetfall2009 as well as some awesome live sets!

I hear there were also some great live performances in the evenings so when I find some video or audio of those I'll post them here...

Moldover's new CD not only delivers music, it completely redefines what it means to "play an album"... Moldover's CD packaging itself IS a new musical instrument! The CD is mounted on a custom designed circuit board, intricately patterned and powering a "light-Theremin". Yes! You play the artwork and it makes sound!

Pretty dang clever!

First Industrial Stribe application







from CuriousInventor.com:

TracyEvansProductions, a company that specializes in interactive tradeshow exhibits and other multimedia, has integrated Stribes into a kiosk that interactively explains the interaction of water and oil in wells for Schlumberger.

Kudos to Scott Driscoll @ Curious Inventor for making this all happen Stribe-wise!
