This project was an experiment in audio input/output. The setup included a display screen, microphone, and headphones. A viewer would put on the headphones and watch the visuals. The microphone was used to listen to all the sounds and noises in the space. In real-time, the frequency with the highest amplitude was converted to the closest corresponding note on a piano, generating a continuous composition. Each square represented a different note, and the movement is based on the amplitudes, like a pinwheel being blown by the sounds. The following clip is a short excerpt recorded from the piece.
