CITYCLOUDS

Silke Hilsing invented an impressive technic. A flexible touchpad allows the user to create 3-Dimensional spaces to fill up with sound-bowles, easy switch between news and some more. With an up-projektion the result get projected on the top of the soft touchpad.

The impress has 4 kinds of applications.
Application 1: You can put objects in motion and make them sound differently by deforming the surface. Draw a new object with different radius and pitch depending on the intensity of pressure.
Application 2 + 3: Modelling a 3D-object by lower or higher intensity of pressure at any desired position. After Modeling, save the result and compare it with other results in a 3D gallery. Fly and zoom through the gallery by putting more or less pressure onto the display.
Application 4: Squeeze out latest news (RSS-Feeds of different news agencies).
It is an very interessting technic. I think the video explains it very well.

Sometimes we think about the new future of sound or searching for the new sound. Where can we find inspirations. What are the new inventions to create the perfect sound and which Music Machine can we use. These were the things who were Neurosonics Audiomedical Labs Inc.
thinking of, too. They made this cool video for us to demonstrate how the future about producing music could look like.

When they say you shouldn’t play music with your head, they don’t mean you should use your heart.
Instead, use other peoples heads.

Enjoy it!
