  • Test(3)

    Today I received a delivery of wooden board to experiment with new sounds and to test them on the speakers. I used thin boards, I realised that the thinner the boards, the less resonance they have at the point of test’s end. First, I cut and drilled holes in the wood to fit the size…

  • Failure and Re-planning

    I have been working on attaching a mallet to a speaker cone with the goal of having it strike a metal such as a steel plate. To do this, I thought I would need a proper speaker with enough movable plate and enough power to control it. However, I couldn’t get the speakers within my…

  • Test(2) – Stereo Speaker

    This time, I connected two speakers. There wasn’t much change in the circuit; I simply connected one speaker to pin 10 of the Arduino in the same way as before. I connected the ‘-‘ part of the speaker to the ‘-‘ part of the breadboard, keeping in mind that I would connect more speakers later,…

  • Simple Test for the Project

    For my project, I purchased an Arduino, speaker, breadboard, and resistors, and did a simple test of switching the speaker on and off. I first connected the Arduino to my computer to power it up and allow me to upload my code. I then decided which of the Arduino’s digital pins I wanted to use…

  • Plans for Assignment of Specialising

    IDEA The sound is produced by attaching various types of sticks to multiple speaker drivers and hitting specific objects or parts of them. This is an abstract work that treats the speakers as players of sound rather than transmitters of sound, and the minimum number of speakers is between eight and sixteen, depending on the…

  • Puredata Preparation

    I have been working through PureData, the programme we will be using in class. I had previously studied MAX/Msp, so it was not difficult to understand the basic principles of Pure Data. However, there are quite a few language differences, and there are many useful objects that didn’t exist in MAX, so I’m going to…

  • Mono VS Stereo

    Mono advantage Disadvantage  Stereo advantage Disadvantage  Review Mono will be good to use at recording voice or solo instruments and for wide place with no clearly defined left or right speakers. However mono is not good for making music which has to offer spatial sound to audience. In the other side, Stereo can be used…

  • Idea Sketch(1)

    The first idea is Moving Speakers. I wanted to visualise sound, and there are many ways of doing this already, but I wanted to represent the inaudible and visible sound by speakers To do this, I need to use multiple speaker drivers and give them a very low frequency waveform of less than 20HZ. That…

  • DearVR Review

    I tried using DearVr Micro. I had already used it in previous years and knew that it was a great effect for creating a sense of three-dimensional sounds, so this time I used a simple noise to analyse what frequencies it affects when applied and how it places sounds above or behind the front. Firstly,…

  • Expanded Studio Practice Class Review (1)

    Decide what I want to do and what I need to do every day and do it. It’s great to immerse myself in one thing and develop it, but when you’re exposed to and study many other arts or skills, it opens up more chances. I can do something with speaker drivers that move when…
