ArduinoRadio

I started by collecting discarded vintage radios and disassembling them to look at the hardware and see if they were still functional or not. I fixed some components so that it would work again, and then attached a servo motor to the tuner and programmed it on arduino so that it would rotate unpredictably to create noises and sounds, both mechanical and radio waves.

The end result was a sculptural form with different hardware parts attached to it that would create sounds depending on the light intensity and also unpredictably. Most of the noises were just unrecognisable radio sounds, with the rare occurrences of actual music being played.[[File:Radios2.jpeg|thumb]]

Description:
[[File:DSC05266 CD small.jpg|alt=Tired Machines Orchestra - Work in Progress|thumb|474x474px|Tired Machines Orchestra - Work in Progress]]
Tired machines, exhausted, worn out and carelessly discarded on the garbage dumps of our consumer paradises find their way into a new, cultivated afterlife. They play the first violins, flutes and basses of a post-apocalyptic ensemble, the Tired Machines Orchestra.

This course is for anyone who feels sorry for technical devices on the margins of society; for hardware hackers, tinkerers, musicians, DIY electronic enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to become one. Plunder your basements and bring your unloved or broken cassette players, kitchen appliances, printers, hair dryers or fans, disassemble them and turn them into soundful musical instruments.

This is a hands-on course. We will explore fundamentals of DIY-electronics, sensing, and microcontroller programming; look at upcycling, destruction, transformation, and recovery processes; and examine sustainable strategies in media art. As part of the seminar, we will go on a field trip to a local electronics recycling company. There we will learn about the process of disposing and recycling e-waste and go on the hunt for materials to experiment with.

Tired Machines Orchestra is a block module that will take place over two weekends (October 20-22, November 3-5). Prototypes are to be developed independently in between our meetings. Requirements: Punctuality, regular attendance and a fascination for electronics, sound experiments and tinkering. Open to all disciplines, no prior knowledge necessary.

The finale of the course will be a collective concert.
