Noise for Airports

Vibrations and how they get to your ears.

Noise for airports is a blog about culture, sound, music, and technology.

You can filter the posts to see just things I wrote or made.

This “drum machine” uses photosensors and a rotating can with a light source inside to sequence beats. That is actually a terrible description of what it does, as it is basically a totally crazy batch photo-controlled oscillators that, according to this video, can also be used to modulate sound from external sources.

The video is long, but click around—this contraption does a lot of things.
