Robin MandelSmoke and Hot Air on Northern LightsThe wonderful new Minneapolis arts organization Norther Lights is beginning to take off. An article appeared there today about the installation Smoke and Hot Air, Robin Mandel and myself.
Smoke and Hot Air Installation for smoke-ring quartet, synthesized voice, electronics and microcontroller
Arduino for Robin's Storm machine, no more computers!I've been working on some software and electronics for Robin Mandel in order to realize his Storm. First I made a Arduino-MIDI-output-translator application that converted MIDI out of GarangeBand to on and offs on the Arduino's Digital Outputs. Then I integrated the MIDI playback into the translator application.
Arduino :: MaxMSP, light sensor for Robin's stormAn arrangement for Arduino + MaxMSP + circuit so that blocking the light will turn on the storm. With the new MaxMSP patch, a photosensitive resistor is used to start/stop playback of a MIDI file that is a composition for Robin's electro-mechanical storm machine.
MIDI to ArduinoDemonstration of a little stand alone application for translating MIDI to an Arduino's digital outputs. The editable MaxMSP patch (and many more things) are a part of aLib. You will find the patch in the "for controllers" folder, within the "Arduino" section. This application uses

Final video of the smoke ring quartet, placed in a cross formation. In this video, the smoke rings are generated by the voice of a the visitor. The sound of the speaker's voice is analyzed and used to trigger smoke rings, thereby turning the speaker's [hollow] words into smoke.
