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.

Updated (sometimes) by Nick Seaver.  

Rui Penha’s Robotic Gamelan is part of a “robotic percussion” roundup over at Create Digital Music. (yeah, I’m still catching up on blogs from the holidays, so what?)

The mallets are really gorgeous (are they typical gamelan equipment, just fastened to mechanical actuators? I’m not familiar enough with gamelan music to know). Also amazing are basically all the other robots in the roundup, so you should click over there.

(I reserve the right to plunder that roundup for future posts, because it is so awesome.)
