The Brief:
'Create a meaningful interaction between a digital input and an analogue output of vice versa. this could be an object playing along to a specific track or perhaps music that is created depending on its own surroundings. This module is out to test you design and technical abilities; there is no strong user requirement.
Think about the aesthetics of your objet, although this is a very techie module it is nice to show an honest technical aesthetic. Do you want to hide away the workings of your object or do you want to have them on show? Maybe take reference from old automated music machines such as the player piano or the musical box.'
After receiving our new brief a week ago i felt a bit baffled by the level of freedom i had to take this project in any way that was seen fit, with the agreement of other group members of course. We are targeting interaction design much more which i find exciting as will give me another new take on the world of design and work of interactive designers already successful in this area.
General day to day living has given me a few insights that i intend to explore further for this project. Travelling at the weekend i was inspired by the train tracks and the sounds that are created. I think that i will explore this idea further and see what possible ideas could come from this inspiration. Generally being around other people, both socially and in more formal lecture environments has made me question how this idea of interaction to create sound could be integrated into peoples general day to day living. Creating sound/music by taking a walk to the shops or making a 'music diary'... the possibilities are endless with this and hope to come up with some more insights in the very near future.
