A collection of curious sound objects

Everything makes sounds… Even the most curious objets. Ready to sample ?

Came across this video and thought “well, we have so many sounds sources around us that we sometimes overlook potential samples origins”.

The arrangement includes six exceptional exhibits from the world of sounds and acoustics.

At first sight looking trivial, each object incorporates a very unique ability.

The magical character of each object is accompanied with a little story, almost completely concealing the existence of technical components such as speakers or sensors. Only small connection ports as well as the uniform black finishing point to their unusual abilities.

Processing is used for recording live audio input, modifying the playback and generating digital sound according to sensor data.

In form and functionality all these exhibits pursue John Maeda’s „Simplicity“. They are enjoying to use, they are surprising and one wants to explore and investigate them.

Creativity is the key. Whatever you use, if you have a plan, it should offers you great and unique results.
