Re: Theometrica

Technically quite interesting - distance measuring laser I'd guess - but musically not my bottle of beer (cups of tea are so 'yesterday') :tongue:

OK - high time to kickstart this thread once again, so here's an intriguing little introduction to Diego Stocco's new 'Creative Miking Techniques' video:

Another very innovative (and strange) audio setup - I give you 'Tasteful Turntable':




And the accompanying video:

Here's a goodie! An interview with inventor, sculptor, and instrument designer Andy Cavatorta, concentrating on How to Build a Magnetized Piano Harp.

Here's a goodie to start the year in 2016 - the Cemaes Bay Tide and Time Bell:



"The rise of the water at high tide moves the clapper to strike the bell. Played by the movement of the waves, the bell creates a varying, gentle musical pattern."

Amazingly I missed this video from Diego Stocco, so just in case you did too, here's his inspirational "Music From A Dry Cleaner":

Now here's something really different - a live performance using recycled components that's actually musical:

"The band placed ventilation fans onto overhead projectors and attached tiny solar panels that connected to speakers. They programmed the circuit so that when the ventilators were switched on, they’d power the projectors, feeding light into the solar panels, which in turn produced sound from the speakers."

This is more of an innovative instrument player instead of the actual instrument sounds themselves, but just as fun and innovative anyway. :smirk:
