Touch based generative audio

Tangible musical interface for Sony Sonic Wonderland with green plants as the input, using capacitive touch to generate sine wave audio output directly on an Arduino.

Bompass & Parr are a London based studio producing “flavour-based experience design” projects I was their freelance creative technologist helping them delivery several of their projects focused on interacting with everyday objects, food and plants – often triggering sound and light reactions. Projects included a tangible musical instrument made from real plants for the Sonic Wonderland Experience; a musical synthesizer made from sausages and cheese for a film; and an interactive fruit display to explore a future vision for retail that balances the garden with the field, and making the lighting at the top of The Shard London react to touch.
