Lames @ Interstices - Sentier sonore 04v01 - work in progress
Need to wire 8 of those.
Finding silent motors
Some welding
Pulley are hard work with big tools, but we wont see them. That said, I started to really like them.
Finally not raining, test day
My setup. Box now nearly waterproofed, my Max/MSP patch half done, my silent MIDI to stepper motor interface finished and nicely running, amps running nicely, new sound interface is fine, everything is screwed in place, just need the right power supply for the amps instead of my maker space one.
Sandwiched piezo, 8 of them build wired
First pulley test with the full sized saw. Running better than expected.
Cut more musical saws today. Gloves for scale.
Setup day 2 first saw
Setup day 3 second and third saw
Setup day 4, technical stuff and rust
Setup day 5, technical test and composition
Setup day 6, composition and taking the cables up
When things went wrong: rain and electronics do not go together
When things went wrong: exploded cap
Solution: Better home made interface to avoid exploding caps with diodes and relays and yes, it is a tea box
Making recordings: safety boots required

I sadly broke 3 excellent C-series contact microphones because of excessive vibrations: the piezoelectric ceramic could not sustain it and cracked, resulting in a strange clipping/rattling effect.
So I build a soundbox, a bit like the daxophone idea, that I can clamp into place. Awaiting for some piezoelectric cells to put it inside it and try that up.
