Robin Mandel

Arduino for Robin's Storm machine, no more computers!

I've been working on some software and electronics for Robin Mandel in order to realize his Storm. First I made a Arduino-MIDI-output-translator application that converted MIDI out of GarangeBand to on and offs on the Arduino's Digital Outputs. Then I integrated the MIDI playback into the translator application.

Arduino :: MaxMSP, light sensor for Robin's storm

An arrangement for Arduino + MaxMSP + circuit so that blocking the light will turn on the storm. With the new MaxMSP patch, a photosensitive resistor is used to start/stop playback of a MIDI file that is a composition for Robin's electro-mechanical storm machine.

MIDI to Arduino

Demonstration of a little stand alone application for translating MIDI to an Arduino's digital outputs.

The editable MaxMSP patch (and many more things) are a part of aLib. You will find the patch in the "for controllers" folder, within the "Arduino" section.

This application uses
-SimpleMessageSystem library for the Arduino platform.

Video: Day 7, smoke rings final, voice activated

Final video of the smoke ring quartet, placed in a cross formation. In this video, the smoke rings are generated by the voice of a the visitor. The sound of the speaker's voice is analyzed and used to trigger smoke rings, thereby turning the speaker's [hollow] words into smoke.

Now we cover the hole when we're not blowing.
