Make Your Own Sine-Wave! Audioworkshop des SINE WAVE ORCHESTRA

for people from 12 - 100 years (also suitable as further education for educators).

In this workshop you can build your own instruments that play sine waves and respond to light. After building the instruments, we will playfully try them out to explore the acoustic manifestations of the sine wave. A joint performance as a sine wave orchestra will conclude the workshop. The self-made instruments can be taken away at the end of the workshop.

The SINEWAVE ORCHESTRA (SWO) is a participatory sound performance project that has been performing since 2002. Ken Furudate, Kazuhiro Jo, Daisuke Ishida, and Mizuki Noguchi form the core group of SWO.In 1822, the French mathematician Fourier discovered that sine waves can be used as basic elements to produce almost any periodic sound in the world. Based on this theory, SWO considers each sine wave as a participant and the collective audio representation as a community. The interferences and resonances of the sine waves map the relationship between the participants. A group can thus collectively form an "ocean of sine waves". The SWO plans to stage a participatory audio piece for the 2009 scholarship program of the Foundation of Lower Saxony for Media Art at the Edith Russ House for Media Art.
