Travis Geis 250B

Brainstorming for 250B.

Notebook Pages

The following pages from my notebook show some of the ideas I have about interactive sound projects.

On this page I was brainstorming how to visualize a torsional wave propagating down a medium, because it is slow enough to see. I was thinking about the reverberation effects of sending audio in one end of a thin metal strip, then picking up the vibrations at the other end. I was inspired by torsion-mode delay lines, a form of analog computer memory that used the torsional wave's slow propagation to delay a data signal by a precise constant.
