I saw this Make: article<\/a> on Facebook, and watched the video.\u00a0 His short wiki is here<\/a>.\u00a0 I find this guy extremely fascinating, because he is doing what I wanted to do decades ago.\u00a0 I think if I had known about him decades ago, I would have been very tempted to contact him and try to collaborate with him to see if I could help him, and make some of these circuits myself.\u00a0 I adore and admire how he has made these functional circuits into works of art.\u00a0 Normally, the\u00a0 sound artist would try to hide the circuitry inside of a box, possibly to try to keep it a secret.\u00a0 But Peter does just the opposite!\u00a0 He puts the whole circuitry on display as a work of art.\u00a0 It most likely looks strange to the average person, but up closer, all the components can be seen, with all the colors and details of the components.\u00a0 For those who know how to follow a circuit, they could draw a schematic or duplicate the circuit with components.\u00a0 Fascinating, as I said!<\/p>\n

The movie showed how he has made up a wooden jig to hold the wiring while he adds the parts.\u00a0 He has a good stock of analog and simple digital parts.\u00a0 He just sits there and solders all the parts to the power and other bus wires until he has completed the circuit.\u00a0 What’s amazing to me is that one of the ‘sculptures’ on the wall is as long as a car, and it doesn’t look like it can be broken down into sections.\u00a0 The whole thing looks too delicate to be moved in one piece, but I don’t think he could have built it in a single piece.\u00a0 He has had enough experience building previous pieces like this one, so he must know what works and what doesn’t, physically, visually and musically.<\/p>\n

I would like to be there to ask him so many questions.\u00a0 I know enough about the circuits to be able to make them using just a block diagram of how the shadows are processed into the sounds.\u00a0 Playing this musical sculpture is something else.\u00a0 It’s like no other musical instrument.\u00a0 Well, I guess a synthesizer would be able to make the same music.\u00a0 But it would be done in software with nothing to look at.\u00a0 And 2 or more people would not be able to interact with the synthesizer like they can with the sculpture.<\/p>\n

Again, I find this just fascinating.\u00a0 If I was there I would enjoy every minute of it.\u00a0 😈\u00a0 😁\u00a0 🙌<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
