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…
