Class of February 4th, 2008
- Jeff is planning to do his 'feedback' instrument - stepper motors controlling mics attached to a tube, driving a speaker at one end of the tube. Then the whole thing is controlled by a parallel finger-board column for play-by-wire.
- Spencer is building a 'cocktail table' 4-player video game running Python with one distance sensor per player's hand.
- The MEAP installation: can maybe use (part of the) display case on college walk for some kind of installation
- could we put a box on the bottom with jacks for sound input and output
The Meap College Walk Interactive Thingy
Ideas:
- Play in, meap with short delay, play back modified sound
- No play out, just follow the audio in with a robotic foot tapper
- some video camera that responds to looking at the screen of your iPod video
- just a microphone behind the glass
- use the video - of just real life - as image-track to meaped audio
- put the mac mini in there, caseless to make it less desirable - will it be warm enough
- built-in wireless - it will be on the net
- make it update the music to make it different every day
- just interface it to morecowbell - or our own live version
