A sound art installation environment, which incorporates audio and visual elements. Max Msp is used to control and sync several BlinkM LED lights to an audio composition. These BlinkM LEDs are contained in small white boxes which are then situated within a large wooden box coated in mirrors. Inside the wooden box there are also two rear speakers, two front speakers, and a sub-woofer out side on top of the box. The idea is that you then place your head into the box and have and hopefully enjoy the experience!! NB The audio synch is off with the lights in this video, due to the camera I used (a crap digital photo camera) The audio is synched in far better detail in reality, especially to the ‘beating’ effect that the sin tones are creating.

This is the first UK presentation of the award winning sound art installation Yokomono by Staalplaat Soundsystem. The installation is inspired by the experience of driving in a car close to the Funkturm (Radio and TV Tower) in Berlin, passing quickly in and out of different radio signals.

Yokomono consists of four toy car record players and a corresponding set of FM radios. The cars, known as vinyl killers, have been customized with wireless FM transmitters. As they spin around the vinyl, they transmit their signal to the radios which are tuned to a special Yokomono frequency.

By arranging the radios in groups it is possible to explore the architectural dimensions of the gallery space. Some radios are also mounted on a miniature train, literally driving through the interfering frequencies. An unstable sonic space is created as the vinyl killers run on batteries that will slow down during the installation, but not necessarily at the same rate.

Described as an ‘eclectic mix of techno culture and sound art installation’, Staalplaat Soundsystem use radio technology in a playful way to create a unique and adventurous installation.
