Paper Note ~ Tangible Paper Waveform

Paper Note ~ 

Paper Note creates a tangible waveform from laser cut disks of paper. The user records a message, a sound or loads up music, and the system analyses the sound to map each moment to a corresponding slice.

This project was made by Andrew Spitz & Andrew Nip at CIID. We programmed it using Processing. Each Paper Note is made up of around 450 stacked disks of paper. The louder the volume at a specific moment, the bigger the disk. Our algorithm samples the right amount of information from the recording to scale the physical waveform to the size of around 14cm.

Special thanks to
David Gauthier, Joshua Noble and Marcin Ignac  for their help with the code.
