MS Kinect Balloon Project

Balloon Project from Dan Wilcox on Vimeo.

"Experiments in balloon motion and sound using an MS Kinect depth sensing camera.

Created for the Carnegie Mellon 1st & 2nd year MFA Graduate show entitled "Fresh Baked Goods" at Bakery Square, April 2011.

A machine stands in a room surrounded by balloons. Circulating fans blow the balloons over the machine which creates sound based on their movements.

Mode 1: Tones

Balloon height and x/y position control the pitch and panning of a treble and bass voice. The tones can be quantized into a certain key or a glisssando can be employed for a theremin-style effect.

Mode 2: 99 Luftballons

The playback speed of Nena's 99 Luftballons is controlled by balloon height. The balloons must be kept in the air for the song to play. Feed the machine.

Built using Open Frameworks, ofxKinect, and Open CV for balloon tracking and Pure Data for sound generation/playback.

See danomatika.com/​blog/​balloon-project for more info.

Music: 99 Luftballons by Nena"

"Teletrons make music with the mind! Theatre Intangible presents Brainwaves, a live experimental improv at Gallery F on August 27th as part of the opening reception for Figure 1: Scientists and Artist Picture the Intangible. Ken Soper and Dylan Simon control Moog and other synths with two Teletrons, a MindFlex children's toy hacked to turn Theta waves into control voltage. Engineered by Tony Youngblood.

Roland TR909 Quad Mod

YouTube Uploaded by sequentix on Nov 30, 2010

"Demo of a TR909 with a quad memory expansion.
I fitted a 32k FRAM chip in place of the original 8k SRAM, so no battery is needed either.
A rotary selector switch chooses which of four banks of 8k the 909 sees.
I was worried it might crash if the switch was moved without powering-off, but as it turns out, you can change bank mid-pattern and it doesn't miss a beat.

NB Modifying a 909 CPU board is not recommended unless you know exactly what you're doing. The RAM and ROM chips are soldered to the PCB, which has very delicate tracks and through hole plating. There is no space to use a socket.
You can easily damage the board.
If you *do* know what you're doing, a 32k SRAM will fit in an 8k's place with minor changes. The rotary switch selects the 4 possible combinations of the 2 extra address lines with the help of some diodes and pull-up resistors.
FRAM needs CE toggled on every access, which the 909 circuit doesn't do. You need to hack the ALE line into a spare select line on the address decoder to make it work. A 32k battery-backed SRAM wouldn't need that."
