🕹 Playful 

Architects like to use their hands to touch objects in order to learn about materials, density, and durability. Each object has the potential to produce a compelling sound if it only could have a beat. SoleNoise is a sound installation that allows turning a room into a music performance, through the use of gestures as detected by the Kinect.

Soundpainting
The universal multidisciplinary live composing sign language for musicians, actors, dancers, and visual artists. In the project, the left hand controls which solenoid, therefore which sound, is actuated. The right-hand controls the tempo at which the loop beats. 


Solenoide Create Sounds
A custom-built design frame allows a solenoid to be at a given distance from an object. When the solenoide is actuated, a sound is produced according to the material properties that are being hit.
