Digital Musics & Sound Art – Volnovod


Credit: Dmitry Morozov

::vtol:: (RU)

The idea behind volnovod is based on the principle of conventional iPod earbuds and the special rubber that encases the earbud cables. This material prevents the wires inside from bending or breaking when the earbud cables become twisted or knotted.

::vtol:: (Dmitry Morozov) is well familiar with this situation, which inspired him to create a project, in which a twisting wire is turned into sound. Two stepper motors turn and intertwine the wire in different directions, thus generating wave forms. These are recorded by a camera. The data from the video material is used to create diagrams, which influence the different parameters of generating sound. In other words, the wave movement of the twisting wire is made audible.
