Sonic Shy

Sonic Shy invites you to co-create a continuously evolving soundscape through spinning a wheel
and moving small e-textile balls down a series of chutes.
As the wheel spins, your base track or noise to begin with is selected.
As balls are thrown down the chutes, sounds are triggered, altered or silenced, resulting in a continuously shifting auditory experience shaped by play, skill and chance.

 

This piece is a work in progress, building on an earlier interactive sound prototype, Sonic Blobs. Rooted in familiar objects, everyday rituals, and tactile experiences, the works merge these elements into a framework for participation. Through this ongoing sonic inquiry, moments of individual and shared connection intersect through playful opportunities for individual and collective sound-making.
