Audio Wormholes

Our friend Etienne Noreau-Hebert is working with us on DandyBerry's software component. The 4 audio signals from the microphones will be streamed through a pipeline built with "Pure Data", a program developed by Miller Puckette. Pure Data is a free, open source program similar to "MAX MSP", the commercial version of a program also developed by Puckette. Check out his book The Theory And Technique Of Electronic Music. The audio wormholes let you speak into a mic and hear yourself, a couple seconds later, played from a hidden speaker within the boxes. The general design of the pipeline will consist of a delay/echo effect that produces a layering of recorded events, a cumulative loop, illustrated by this conceptual table:

Participation will allow you to project your voice into the future, repeatedly in 30 minute increments. We are working on spicing up this basic idea, by adding hi-feedback effects to very short slivers of time and letting the feedback ring out, highlighting a random moment in the cumulative loop. There is also an opportunity to play with which mic is associated with which speaker, switching every X minutes.
