Datasound
Posted June 19th 2006 under Cybersonica, Turntable
More turntable research.
Datasound from Troika offers an alternative and more sensual interpretation of electronic data by exploring their musical potential. Datasound is a fully functional musical instrument that enables you to hear, mix, scratch and perform digital data signals, from a picture, an old program floppy, a computer virus, a love letter, or a drawing.
On the right side of the deck stands a turntable that plays 5.25inch floppy disks.The datasound mixing deck is completed with a sampler that reproduces in real time samples obtained from a variety of objects that contain or generate data: a Winchester hard drive, a neon light, a 3.5inch floppy disk drive, a flatbed scanner, data cartriges, travel cards.
