I conducted two tests of Alvin Lucier’s “I am sitting in a room” in two different rooms to compare the rooms’ impact on the soundscape. It was rather fascinating to see the differences:
I am sitting in a room – Test #1 – Large Auditorium from Kjetil Austvoll-Dahlgren on Vimeo.
I am sitting in a room – Test #2 – Meeting Room from Kjetil Austvoll-Dahlgren on Vimeo.
My thanks to Ola Erik Blæsterdalen for lending me his mic…
Hitmetron is an installation made for NRK Urørt for use at music festivals. It is an installation for creating accidental sound art and music. The prototype uses three “instruments” – wooden box, metal cylinder and
metal sheet – as well as a vocal mic as input. The program (written in Processing with great help from Marius Watz) records when sound reaches a certain threshold and plays back in a six second loop.

This video shows some of the soundscapes that are possible to create with the Hitmetron. Performance by Joachim Svela. Hope to get a longer perfomance with better sound quality on tape soon…
Ekko – the introductory video is now available.

The project was a proposal to Popsenteret as an installation and a framwork. It is a sound creature that records and playbacks sounds, with seamless comunication with other installations in the centre. The project was done with Marius Johansen and Shahrooz Banaei.
So here’s the final presentation for the Wii fit concept “Swirl”.
Moving from kaleidoscopes through fractals, we ended up wanting to work with three dimensional objects (or Swirls as we’ve called them) with some of the same esthetics as 2D fractals. Moving through space you would encounter these swirls and be able to further explore or interact with them. You would controll your movement with the ballance board and interact with the environment with the wiimote.
