First Ideas

The best ideas I came up with and showed at the interim were basically an abstract way of showing how an existing sound-shape behaves, in my case, wind chimes. The best fitting the project criteria was a set of slightly awkwardly sized boxes that if interacted with, would react in an interesting and slightly random way, but each time unique. It essentially would have been a programme that would behave in a similar way to a wind chime. I really like this idea but didn’t feel it would be aesthetically pleasing and as I found with my last project, it is important to not get too attached to your ideas. So I came up with a new design that would be a wind chime if all the ends of the strings were attached, and the body or the rest of the wind chime spun around the center. I could then make the wind chime end parts a more literal analogy of the sound they created. My idea is that the will be able to be interacted with, with the mouse which would cause the wind chime ends to knock against each other and then settle back to there normal state.
