Week13 - AluFeed

By Stefano D'Alessio on March 30, 2014 8:56 pm

AluFeed is a composition that uses samples recorded in 2011 while making the first implementing tests of the art piece Object (http://cargocollective.com/stefanodalessio/Object), realized with Martina Menegon (http://martinamenegon.tumblr.com) in 2012.
“Object is an interactive, kinetic, sound sculpture.
It is a digital/analog hybrid system, able to react to the environment and to changes that take place within it. The sculpture present itself as a aluminum plate, it is implemented thanks to an intelligent mechanical system, capable to capture and create sound through aluminum's vibrations.
The plate generate tension, an action at distance, between itself and any kind of body getting close to it, the metal tends to get distant from anything approaching, bending itself. This bending influences the relations between the various components of the system, generating dynamic and unpredictable sound that increase his volume proportionally to plate's bending, reacting to the proximity of other bodies.”
The track has been entirely created in three days (28-30 March 2014).
Composed in Logic.

Fucking cool install dude.  Really effective.  How did the aluminium bend?

I really like this. The sounds have a lot of character and feeling in them. I don't always love stuff like this but this is really well done.

@rdomain
there is a little servo motor that pulls it... hidden behind the plate... but don't tell anybody...
thanks for the interest
