Inspired by the machines of Pierre Bastien, I made a little chime carousel.

Come see the carousel and more, tonight (11 Feb 2016) in Brooklyn! www.musicalecologies.net/021116-pr/
I saw this video about turning plastic drink bottles into string, so I made some bottle string and stretched it on a 2×4 to make a sort of bass guitar. The string snapped a few times, but it sort of works!

Inspired by yesterday's LED candle with a hidden song, I set up an arduino to transmit 16 different notes on 16 LEDs simultaneously. (The notes are laid out like the bass keys of an accordion, though you can't really tell.)
The optical receiver hears all the notes at once, unless you cover some of them up.
Bonus: the flickering LEDs do crazy things to a cell phone camera.
The underlying idea and the arduino code (available here) are nearly identical to the Jeltone from a few years ago, just transmitting the sound through light instead of skin conduction.
my addition to the festival... can't say i'm totally happy with the results but fuck it... i had a great time and thats what counts anyway :)

I put a photoresistor into a guitar cable and made a little candle spinner to try to modulate the guitar sound. Somehow it only modulates the background hum.
