this installation is based on an arduino[ref name=”arduino”]http://www.arduino.cc[/ref]-powered diary with integrated lcd display and buttons to navigate through postings of my facebook friends.
an aluminum can is used as loudspeaker and reads you the news from facebook.

Aufbau Installation
Künstler verschiedener Genres haben verschiedene Anforderungen an den Arbeitsraum. Wenn man mit Klang arbeitet ist unter anderem eine gute akustische Trennung zur Außenwelt eine wichtige Voraussetzung.
Das Rondo kann in dieser Hinsicht nicht als optimal gelten und diese interaktive Klanginstallation macht die Schallübertragung über den Estrichboden im Rondo hörbar.
Schallwandler (Piezo-Pickups) sind über den 4. Stock am Boden verteilt und liefern je nach Schuhwerk des daran vorbei spazierenden Besuchers Signale mit unterschiedlichem Charakter.
Screenshot
Am Terminal, wo alle Signale zusammenlaufen, kann man sich gesteuert von einem WII-Controller in Echtzeit mittels Kopfhörer in dem virtuellen Rondo-Klangraum bewegen und in die in Schwingung versetzten Strukturen hineinhören.
Folgendes Video ist für Kopfhörerwiedergabe optimiert. Die Klangbeispiele sind nur illustrativ und entsprechen nicht denen der realen Installation.

In my composition studies at “lietuvos muzikos ir teatro akademija” in Vilnius I came across using 12 tone techniques from Schoenberg/Hauer in combination with the Bohlen-Pierce[ref name=”bp”]Bohlen-Pierce Site http://www.huygens-fokker.org/bpsite/[/ref] scale discovered independently by Heinz Bohlen in early 1970’s and John Pierce.
This scale is based on mainly odd frequency ratios and divides the duodezime (ratio 3:1) into 13 steps. You can listen to the equally tempered scale here:
If you want to know how to use non-standard tunings and scales in combination with your MIDI keyboard or favourite music notation software read on!
