This is an E4 Esting competition entry created by the lovely Alice Dunseath from Voodoodog. I created all the sounds you can hear in this video; I even wandered round my dads hospital with my recording equipment for the background sounds! All the disgusting squelchy sounds come from various fruits and friends' mouths... gross!! Sounds I did not create are the actors' voices, but I did edit them to the video using the rushes from the shoot.

Ferragamo is live!
I'm very excited today because today the interview of Salvatore Ferragamo that I created music for went live online!
I composed the music on behalf of Angelini design who shot and edited the video; they created the video for Lancia Trend visions and the video can be found here!

This is the music I created for the LANCIA Trend Visions titles, which they will be using as the title music for their interviews.

Within these resonances
This is a new song I created for my fourth year portfolio. It began as an exercise in binaural panning that became a song. I created, sung and played and recorded everything in this track except for the Cello part which was played by Angharad Maxwell. This piece is best enjoyed on headphones as it is intended to create a virtual performance space in the brain.

I've been meaning to put this up for a long while now. This is the sound and music I created for Suburbia Media's video for Gina Shoes.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

eenie-meenie-miny-arduino.
I've had a request to put a post up explaining a little more about the Arduino technology I used to create my audio-interactive Twister board.
So here we go!
I wanted to create an audio-interactive twister board that played sounds as the different coloured circles were covered. I fell upon the idea of building a board with Light dependent resistors (LDR’s) embedded in the circles. By wiring these LDR’s up to an Arduino I was able to use the LDR’s as on/off switches to play samples using a programme called PureData (PD).
To wire the LDR’s to the board, I had to solder longer wires so that the connectors would reach. I then used a breadboard to build the circuit that would make the link between the LDR’s, the Arduino and the computer. The pins of the LDR’s were inserted into slots in the breadboard; the pins were in series with a resistor and the current then flowed to a jump wire that was inserted into the analog input of the Arduino. The USB connection from the computer to the Arduino meant that the breadboard was powered by 5v. I used the Arduino software, which facilitates the communication of the arduino with the computer, to get numerical readings from the LDR’s. I could then turn these into 'on' switches in PD that played sounds.
Here is my patch....
If an LDR was covered, the numbers would increase and stay constant, so I wrote an algorithm that instructed the computer to play a certain sound if the numbers received were above a certain threshold, depending on the resistance of the LDR and resistor in the circuit (a lower resistance would produce smaller numbers).
Because there were 20 coloured circles on the board I had to use four laptops. The Arduinos only had 5 inputs each, and could only one could be used in a computer at a time. I chose various different sounds, some comical and some everyday household sounds to make the overall experience as fun as possible for the audience.
Big shout out to Alex Davies who is gonna reference this post in his essay!

Some girls use their student discount for shoes from Topshop...
I used mine on a soldering iron, 28 piece screwdriver set, miniature toggle switches and some miniature pots from maplins....

My how the time flies...
Literally. Where did my first term go? I will upload some more music soon, I'm just trying to make all my projects as amazing as possible, so I have a lot of works in progress!
One project that I can share with you is my CIRCUIT BENDING PROJECT!
My idea is to circuit bend an old baby toy (that I used as a sound source for my first year end of year recital) to make it useable for a more mature piece. I'm planning to drill a load of LDR's into it eventually and write a PD patch to work with it - creating an interactive instrument.
I must admit here and now that I am a complete electronics novice, but what I lack in experience I make up for in enthusiasm.
Here's the old toy....
Pretty cool huh? I don't know the make of it or what it's called if anyone does, please let me know!
This is what it looks like inside...
Under the careful guidance of my marvellous tutor from RWCMD - Odilon Marcenaro, I have managed to find a nice bend for the circuit. Here it is!
By the way these are my tutor's hands here... I don't have man hands...
Next on the agenda is soldering finding more bends and various pots and switches onto the toy. More pics and videos to come soon!
