In this project, we envisioned an interactive music installation,in a public transit place in cologne.
The question was:
Is it possible, to let strangers interact with each other, if they could communicate through creating music?
That installation was playable by 10 people at once, from different locations, which established the dialogue and exchange between the pedestrians. The sound was omnipresent in the whole location, so by the sense of all players the rhythem and style of the music was defined. The result was an awesome urban gaming experience, for all ages !
Wait but how?
We spent long hours, soldering hundreds of cables and working on this project. One of the major problems were the electromagnetic interference,that affected our electrical circuit, even nearby power cords could cause malfunctions. One major part we also wanted to achieve was polyphonic playback, which means that you are able to play more than only one sound file at a time.
But we solved those issues, to fully understand how to make such a nice music installation, triggered by capacitive sensors, read this awesome instructable post by Dieter.
