A series of light sensitive drone instruments created for the premiere of my piece Sound Field by the Princeton Laptop Orchestra. Photoresistors alter the timbre and loudness of the sound according to the ambient light or player action. The players move around the performance space with these instruments while a network of delays running on laptops around the space pass sounds around. This piece evolved into Breathe/Chime, a phone based version of the delay network.
The instruments consist of a custom circuit board, 3D printed body, and lasercut faceplate.
