Today, the Electroacoustic Tree project comes online. We are all creating blogs to document the process. Links to all of the blogs will be hosted on this project homepage.
The idea is to sonify the trees in the courtyard. By using computers, piezoelectric microphones, amps, and speaker arrays, we will turn the trees into musical sound sculptures.
To date, my classes have been split into small workgroups, researched different trees in myth, art, and science, selected trees, and are researching interesting ideas about their trees.
Tomorrow, we will learn how to build contact microphones out of piezo elements. While portions of the class work on construction, others will be learning or refining their computer DAW skills.
Stay tuned!
