Rotation to Sound

Display Schedule

Subject guarantor:

Sara Patrícia DA SILVA PINHEIRO

Name of lecturer(s):

Sara Patrícia DA SILVA PINHEIRO

Learning outcomes of the course unit:

Interface prototyping, experimental instrument design, basic electronics, soldering.

Mode of study:

Practical exercise

Prerequisites and co-requisites:

Previous experience with soldering/electronics would be convenient

Course contents:

In this workshop participants will create a crude instrument. The instrument consists of a small electrical motor as sound-source and an interface made from cardboard and pushbuttons. The electrical motor used is a stepper motor, which produces resonant frequencies that resemble musical tones for different speeds. During the workshop we will create a control signal (based on a 555-timer) and connect this to the motor driver. After we assembled the electronics we will play with interface design. The resulting object will be an electro-acoustic experimental instrument.

Recommended or required reading:

Jorda Instruments Players (pdf)

Assessment methods and criteria:

Each student will build an electronic object that produces sound in combination with an experimental interface
