TONEWHEELS trailer

"TONEWHEELS is an experiment in converting graphical imagery to sound, inspired by some of the pioneering 20th Century electronic music inventions. Transparent tonewheels with repeating patterns are spun over light-sensitive electronic circuitry to produce sound and light pulsations and textures. This all-analog set is performed entirely live without the use of computers, using only overhead projectors as light source, performance interface and audience display. In this way, TONEWHEELS aims to open up the "black box" of electronic music and video by exposing the working processes of the performance for the audience to see.

"First TONEWHEELS performance, August 25 2007 at the "Kunst & Musik mit dem Tageslichtprojektor" workshop, Molkerei Gallery Cologne, DE. Yes, I do bite the electronics and get a mouthful of 12V DC at the end!

  1. great concept, but the sounds would be painful at high volume! Maybe it needs more subs and less highs?

  2. The first Cologne performance was painful, as several neighbors can testify! But if you check the trailer video, you can hear that the sound has become full range since then. More Vimeo vids by "Eyes for Ears" coming soon.
