As an incredibly talented synthesizer enthusiast, living in Gothenburg Sweden, she primarily creates atmospheric textures and deep soundscapes. But she also likes to integrate layered beats and complex rhythmic patterns. When you get involved with her music, it’s like going on an immersive journey, you take off to float and drift.

These solar cells produce a voltage of 0-5 volts. These are very suitable to be used as control voltage (CV) in the Modular Synthesizer. For example, a changing light source can influence a filter (VCF), the pitch of an oscillator (VCO) or the volume of an amplifier (VCA). When an autonomous patch is influenced by external sensors, it is also called an interactive generative system.
Another possibility is to feed the solar cell directly into an audio amplifier. Then e.g. the frequencies of LED’s can be made audible. Click the link below to watch an example.

Repairing things yourself will become more important in the future. On the one hand, because developers and producers intentionally integrate errors and predetermined breaking points into products, so-called planned obsolescence. And on the other hand, raw materials are becoming increasingly scarce and thus more expensive. With the availability of open source software and 3D printers, this trend can be counteracted, in the spirit of the Repair Cafés: repair instead of throwing away!

In a square room, panels equipped with loudspeakers hang from the ceiling. A generative system with 16-channel audio produces a perpetual soundscape. In regular cycles, samples are stored in the system, ready again as a starting point for the next run. In this way, the system continues to evolve over generations.

The audio material of generative processes was processed for this purpose and compiled into 10 tracks. These ambient cinematic soundscapes are like an empty promise, have no beginning as well as no end.

This experiment investigates how audio can be transmitted through the air. The signal is overlapped with the laser beam (analog circuit) and then picked up by a solar panel. The solar panel is connected to a simple amplifier that drives a loudspeaker. Klick the link below to watch the video on Instagram.

STEIM (STudio for Electro Instrumental Music) is a center for research and development of new musical instruments in the electronic performing arts, located in Amsterdam. Electronic music in STEIM’s context is always strongly related to the physical and direct actions of a musician. In this tradition, STEIM supports artists by residences, such as composers and performers, but also multimedia and video artists and assists them to develop setups which allow for improvisation and performance with individually designed technology.
+ Nicolas Collins + was the artistic director between 1992 and 1995.

With 3D printers and digital production machines, we have arrived at production unit one. This means that parts are produced just in time and no longer in large quantities in stock. But it also means that we can break new ground in terms of production location, spare parts and production reliability.

Soundlab is one of the 24 +Colabor modules that offer the opportunity to practice other disciplines and media, reflect on design processes in depth and learn new methods. In this specific SoundLab module, students build an electronic instrument, explore its sonic universe, and share their results with others.
After theoretical input on the statics of bridges, participants develop a model bridge themselves, which is then exposed to a load test. The bridge consists of one or more modules made of cardboard, which are drawn with CAD software and cut with the laser.

An Arduino or similar micro-controller is a quick way to breathe life into a prototype. It’s not just a physical prototyping board, but a system of an easy-to-understand programming environment, a project hub for inspiration, and a world-wide and helpful forum. So what are you waiting for?

There are two different circuits in two cubes connected with a cable. Chaos are two oscillating circuits that modulate each other. The pitch can be manipulated by a photoresistor (LDR), and the pulse width by a potentiometer. The second potentiometer is used to set the voltage that supplies current to the oscillating circuit. This allows you to create versatile and very interesting sound. The other circuit is a simple amplifier with a speaker.
We built these cubes in the + TINKER TEC GIRLS + workshop at HSLU. For more information klick the link below.

We take apart a disused webcam and turn the lens so that we get a macro lens. Then we build a stage from laser cutting parts and mount the modified webcam. In no time at all we have a wonderfully functioning DIY microscope, which invites you to dive into the wonderful world of the microcosm and document your discoveries directly on your computer.
