Using conductive paint as a touch sensor, to trigger vibration motor.

Mock installation build.

Constructing the Stereo 20W Class D Audio Amplifier - MAX9744 - I’m hoping to have these speakers hanging from above to match the aesthetic of the springs.

Arduino and vibration motor: vibrate for 1 secs off for 1 secs.  This type of timing system could be very useful for my installation.

Experimenting with shadows.  I like the use of shadows and feel it could add a lot to my final installation.

Experimenting with Multiple Sonorous objects.

Automated Spring + Water Tank + Water Pump + Projected GIF + Fire Sounds

[sprung-research]

[sprung-research]

Tank with added water pump, as the bubbles hit the springs it creates really beautiful sounds.

[sprung-research]

Two springs and water tank - I’m really happy with how the springs are sounding together here.

Ideas - Water Tank + Two Springs + earth + Speakers

[sprung-research]

A change in spring - as the long thin spring was sounding quite harsh.  These two Springs sound more harmonious together.
