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…

The topic that I am interested in – Analysis and Interpretation in Classical Music
Anyone interested in classical music has likely heard the phrase ‘the performer’s interpretation.’ In classical music, interpretation is a great way for performers to showcase their individual charm and character. A performance lacking interpretation is often criticized as mechanical or uninspired, highlighting the importance of interpretation. However, performers who become overly fixated on their own…

The topic that I am interested in – Relativity of Sound
What is sound? According to Oxford Languages, sound is defined as “vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person’s or animal’s ear.” If that’s the case, can we say that physical vibrations, like ultrasounds or infrasounds, which humans or certain animals cannot hear, are not…

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…
