For this assignment I wanted to continue experimenting with sound. I got excited when I found out that different pitches could be produced by a variation on the resistance. | For this assignment I wanted to continue experimenting with sound.

At this point my goal became to build a system capable of producing a wide range of sounds. I used different substances and combinations of them that would result on a variation of the amount of ions in a given solution, and therefore its conductivity.

I used different substances and combinations of them that would result on a variation of the amount of ions in a given solution, and therefore its conductivity. I wired the whole structure with conductive material to connect all the substances and surfaces, by doing so I increased the sound possibilities based on the random combinations that could take place. | ||
This experimental resistance became a "solutions chain" located in the middle of a circuit where it became possible to select where the conductive props would be placed (to close the circuit), thus producing a different outcome depending on the combination. | This experimental resistance became a "solutions chain" located in the middle of a circuit where it became possible to select where the conductive props would be placed (to close the circuit), thus producing a different outcome depending on the combination. |
