Rock Out Party Lab Jam Explosion 2
An Interactive Sound Installation
This installation is a loud, interactive installation consisting of a
small chamber lined with oversized push-buttons. The buttons control a
series of microchips that produce the sound, and by pushing the
buttons, the audience can shape and evolve the sound over time. In
this way the installation functions as a giant 1-bit musical
instrument, and the simplicity of the sound is reflected in the
simplicity of the giant buttons as controls for the instrument. The
fun and intuitive nature of the buttons and the exposed circuitry also
serve to invite the audience to participate in and understand what can
often be an opaque and difficult world of electronic noise music.
