Sound Fragments

I have been working on some Raspberry Pi powered speakers for a while now. These devices owe a lot to the interactive bird sculptures that I made for Forest of Imagination in 2018. The devices have a decent speaker and amplifier, battery, are USB chargeable with exposed volume controls and can communicate with one another. Right now I am running PD on them to generate sounds and hope to add functionality for other inputs and outputs such as sensors, microphone and LEDs. The idea really was to be able to create a network of smart devices capable of producing decent quality sound for sonic art installations.

Eventually I hope to make this project open source and share the code, designs and bill of materials on line.

Miniature World Illuminations - Installation Prototype

I have been designing an install for the Bath based Forest of Imagination event in the summer of 2019, I built this prototype to test out some of my ideas and it was great fun. I can’t wait to build some more of these!
