Curious Sound Objects

FINE COLLECTION OF CURIOUS SOUND OBJECTS from Georg Reil on Vimeo.


I find this student project by George Rail and Kathy Scheuring from the University of Applied Sciences in Wurzburg-Schweinfurt to be really awesome, interesting, and impressive! It is called A Fine Collection of Curious Sound Objects and it consists of six black everyday objects, a matchbox, a detergent bottle, a coffee mill, a messenger bag, a shoe, and a bucket that create crazy sound noises. These objects turn into magical instruments by the use of Arduion and Processing technology. In the video each object has a cute little story behind it that explains how they got their "magical capabilities". After the narrator tells a story, each object is put to use showing what it can do with the help of a man and his voice. Reil explains the intrigue of the objects by saying, "They are enjoying to use, they are suppressing and one wants to explore and investigate them." I know that after watching this video that I want to see these things in real life and experiments with them for myself!
