On tuesday we made piezo's or surface mics. We were each given a small peizo, one crocodile clip and a 6ml? plug. We were told how to do this by Simon Cumming, who led the workshops that week. I went up to surplus tronics to get another crocodile clip and a bigger piezo which came with its own wires. I didn't get around to making it because I didn't feel so good and was home nd in bed by three.
It didn't matter to much as the next day we learnt about circuit bending and were given our groups for this week. I borrowed a piezo from one of the guys in my group and took it home to record some sounds. I also ended up breaking it, as the wires come of the peizo. I ended up giving him mine.
For the circuit breaking I had a toy that sang the abc's. It had a tiny sound bored so I wasn't sure if i weould be able to get something out of it, but I managed to both speed it up and slow it down. We recorded the sound of it going slowly before the toy broke.
In our performance I used a piezo. at first i just kinda rubbed it against the table for background noise to help buld our performance up then held it against the mints to participate in the 'conversation' we were having with our sounds.
