WeatherPlayer
(Installation/Performance by Owain
Rich. UK)
WeatherPlayer is an online audio installation designed to interpret atmospheric
conditions as sound, and broadcast it to the Internet. Light, temperature,
wind and water sensors are positioned on top of the University of Brighton
building, and the resulting signals are converted into MIDI data, and
transmitted to a computer program. The software written in the Supercollider
audio programming environment uses the incoming data to determine the
structure of sound generating algorithms.
The result is a composition with a cyclic structure which mirrors the
light cycles of day and night, with sounds which rise and fall with the
wind.
