“Digital Enhancement” is an interactive sound
installation consisting of an electrified Symphonion Brevet No. 28, a
synthesizer, an amplifier and four headphones. The Symphonion musical
box dates back to the beginning of the last century and its mechanical
workings are combined with digital technology to convert it into a MIDI
sequencer. The original music, embossed on steel plates, can be played
on the synthesizer, which is programmed to mimic the sounds of the
Symphonion. In order to operate the sequencer, a hand-cranked dynamo
serves as a remote control.
Additional Information:2011, interactive sound installation, hand-cranked dynamo, micro-controller, custom electronic circuit, hardware of antique musical box, embossed steel plate, antique wooden cassette, stepper motor, hardware synthesizer, headphone amplifier, headphones, misc cables.
