Ripped from Engadget:
SoniCoumn is an interactive sound installation that can be played by a person’s touch. The installation takes the form of a column-like cylinder, of a height that does not quite reach the ceiling but just high enough for one’s reach. Grids of LEDs installed inside the column light themselves on by the users’ touch and emit unique sounds. When a user cranks the handle, the column slowly rotates itself and plays the light patterns of the user’s touch.
SoniColumn is one of my series of works, The MusicBox Project, the reproduction of my experience with a small music box that I happened to play a long time ago. The lucid sounds coming from a simple play mechanism stirred me up with my old memory echoed with them. I am pleasantly and cautiously reproducing this happy experience with a small toy which was not sublime nor mysterious, but simple and easy.
Now this is freaking COOL! I highly suggest watching the video. SoniColumn
Awesome article brah, I really loved this entry. I’ll be sure to spread this to a few online buddies who would, odds are, love to check out this post too. Found your blog through the AOL search engine by the way, just figured I’d let you know. Can’t wait till the next one!
