Top 40: Relays and Motors

A sound installation using a MAX/MSP patch that translates the wave form of pop songs to control voltage output to relays and motors. This installation is a site specific piece commenting on the brutalist architecture and design of the SFU Woodward’s campus.
Further exploration of this technology and these materials will follow in the form of interventionist installations and possibly more performance focused iterations utilizing musicians and interactivity.
