Techniques: crocheted felt, sewn conductive thread, Arduino

Developed during a residency in Reykjavik, the object is a result of research in interaction techniques and textile sensors.
People were invited to use the object made of felt, elastic and conductive yarn and change the preprogrammed rhythm of the piece.
The title refers to bits of sound that were discovered during the residency.
The piece can be re-programmed by one or more persons, the resulting rhythms that occur after a while remind of drilling sounds, alarms and low hums and heavy machinery – a sound poem that is constantly reprocessed and subject to change through tearing and reconnecting.

Materials used in the stretch sensors have been inspired by an instructable of push_reset and KOBAKANT and are released under a creative commons license.
