Tate Later at Tate Modern. . Last Friday every month. . “lifeSupport” created by Luis Zayas of HACKOUSTIC, a hacking group dedicated to exploring acoustics, instrument building and sound-art. . . . The drops from four saline drip bags are used to pick random notes from preset chords, each drip on a different octave, all tunes using just intonation. . . . #art #installation #tatemodern #tatelates #instavid #video #hackoustic #soundart (at Tate Modern)
Tonight I’m going to do my first piece of proper, actually-talking-to-actual-people research.
http://hackoustic.org/ < This is a link to the acoustic hacking group “Hackoustic”, based at the London Hackspace. I’m going to their monthly meetup to start a conversation about their current projects and my ideas, how confusing I currently find the technical/ physics side of sound, and potentially build an instrument from scratch (should be fun). My aim is basically just to learn more about the London community of sound-makers (not so much musicians but makers of new methods of conveying it, and making new types of it through this experimentation). Should be taking some photographs and documenting how it goes (and potentially arranging to meet up again with anyone who’s interested/ wants to talk more!) Excited.
(More to follow including some stuff about Hackoustic’s current projects and my interest in focussing on women in sound-making, if I’ve got time before I leave...)

We recently had a lot of fun participating at the Elephant and Castle Mini Maker Faire. It was inspiring to meet so many creatives and makers, and to receive such great feedback. This is the summary of the event, with videos, photographs and some sounds!
The Frame has somewhat always been a core project we've been developing for sometime. The objective was very simple; to be able to hear and listen to any ( or at least most ) physical objects. In the photographed contraption, any object hung in the frame can be heard via headphones. An enthusiastic listener can hang any object she/he likes to listen to.
It is indeed simply built, and uses Piezo discs picked up from Maplins to transduce the sounds of the objects. As in the spirit of DIY and Hackspaces, we hung an old used circular Saw blade, and a rafter's square - both of which sound absolutely sublime. It was great to witness people from all ages appreciate what otherwise could be dangerous, or just extremely boring ordinary objects.
It is unfortunate our sound recordings of the event were corrupted, below is the only recording that survived. Admirably, it is the sound of the relays and solenoids used in the glockenspiel photographed below, plus the ambient sounds of the Maker Faire!
Introducing the Automatic Glockenspiel; a generous number of relays and solenoids; meticulously controlled instrument by the computer. A precise glockenspiel, which can achieve lightning fast play speeds, otherwise unachievable by the mere average human being. We're no longer needed to play anything, let the machines rule! We've filmed this in previous posts if you want to have a look. More info. and possibly tutorials on how this works soon. We're very excited to try this on other instruments as well :).
It was amazing to participate in such an energetic event. The feedback we received was incredibly reinvigorating, and an essential source of energy for all of us to take into an exciting new year. This will help us take our projects and objectives to new heights.
We're very thrilled to end this year on such a high note. Our next meetup will be on Sunday 25th January 2015 7pm at the London Hackspace. We're looking forward to the new year, and the adventures that await us.
