Today I didn't have much time to experiement with sine waves, so instead my thought turned to working on an idea for an installation instead. Working under the title of Ecotone, I am interested in constructing an environment where the physical and acoustical properties of resonant objects are effected by variations in temperature and humidity. The term Ecotone relates to a point of transition between two ecological systems, for example think of a rural environment merging into an urban one.
I will set up a series of objects, or vessels if you will, (vases, glasses, cooking trays, etc.) and attach contact mics inside them - one to receive an input signal and the other for the output siganl (a feedback signal will provide sound). Then once the feedback signal (or threshold) is audible and consistent, I will set up an automated temperature/humidity control and let the process and the room do the work. It is going to be a lot of trial and error, but at least this an official point of departure.
