The first sound vibration test was carried out with the Subwoofer.
Test 1: We glued the pvc sheets together to form a square container. A suitable amount of water was poured in for the vibration test. The water only slightly produced some vibrations.
Reflection: The container was too thick and heavy for the vibrations of the sound to travel up and produce vibrations easily。
Test 2:A test using a plastic disc to produce vibrations. The water waves were very small and the overall effect was still not good.
Reflection: The container may still be too thick and heavy and needs to be replaced with a lighter container.
Test 3: A very thin plastic cup was used for the vibration test. The vibration was very strong and the water waves were obvious.
Reflection: The material of the container needs to be very thin and light so that the vibration will be strong.
Test 4: Sound vibration test with Subwoofer and Genelec-8040-speaker respectively. Using the transparent plastic plate, the vibrations are strong and the water waves are large. But splashes of water may affect the projection effect.
Reflection: The amount of water needs to be controlled, too much will diminish the vibrations, too little will produce a lot of splashing water droplets.
Test 5:Tested with a plastic bag, the vibration effect is good, but the material is too soft and deforms when water is poured in.
Reflection: The material is also too soft and may affect the projection effect. The choice of material is important in order not to affect the projection effect.
Original plan：
The speaker is placed flat under a table with a container on top of it, on the diaphragm of the speaker, and water drops are placed in the container so that the drops create ripples through the sonic Hertzian vibrations of the music. We will take photographs of the water’s shadow and light and record some sounds. These photographs and sounds will be learned by the AI, such as Mubert-text-to-music, disco diffusion, and clip interrogator, and then the AI will produce some musical compositions. Before each stage begins, we invite the audience to pick a piece of music from the three sections we provide to influence the ripples.
Modified programme：
We had a meeting to discuss our project. The original plan was to have three stages of music, a lot of pieces, but now we want to cut out the extra pieces,we can do two or three different kind of concepts and changes, Locations that kind of reflect different aspects of the journey of life right. The presentation of the movement of the characters in the picture is changed through different musical rhythms. The musical rhythm of a person walking can be steady and even. The musical rhythm of a runner should be faster than that of a walker and can be performed with a faster tempo. The musical rhythm of a fall is usually more chaotic and can be expressed by using irregular beats or by using some techniques such as staccato and pauses in the music. Life is like a long run, and we need to run persistently to achieve success. In the process of running, we may experience various difficulties and challenges, but as long as we always persist in our belief of moving forward, we will eventually reach the end of success.
we can tie into the distance sensor and use the distance sensor as a kind of responsive tool as well for the music and turn that up and down or maybe how proximity as away ，and Music .we initially intended that we could use artificial intelligence to generate audio. But then the opportunity to create dynamic, responsive work would be lost. So we would use max. and we wanted the end result to be, like
Installation Reflection.
The gap between the stereo and the container can only hold small bulbs. The effect of putting a small bulb under the container to cast is not very obvious. Perhaps we could make use of the water wave footage that was recorded in advance. By projecting this footage to the ai, the scene could be projected with some of the patterns generated by the ai. Two walls could be used, one projecting the projection of the installation and the other projecting the ai generated effect. It might be more interesting for the audience to experience two different effects at the same time by touching or sensing to make the projection and the music change.
