Five years have passed since the Pisound crowd-funding campaign. Oh, how the time flies… On this beautiful occasion, we look back at our community members’ most memorable Pisound projects. Take a look and catch some new ideas! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sky Vane project by Pyka<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Sky Vane provides people with the opportunity to enjoy a sky-driven reactive sound experience \u2013 as they simply lay down amongst the grass, take a breath, look up to the sky, and listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the centre of The Sky Vane experience sits a beautiful structure that is powered by the Pisound and features an array of atmospheric sensors. These sensors detect changes in light, temperature, pressure, and humidity in order to create a dynamic sky-gazing soundtrack that evolves and changes throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autosampler by Krzysztof Cybulski<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The main element of the project is the actual Autosampler – a sound recorder automatically capturing only harmonic sounds (with recognizable musical pitch). The recorder, powered by solar energy, had been placed in many distinctive spaces and public places of Warsaw. Seven sample libraries have been created from sounds recorded in over a dozen locations, which can be used by musicians and producers in their own music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIY effect board by JJMF<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I try not to use off the shelf stuff too often because I like knowing that I\u2019m the only person that has what I have and it allows me to do things that I wouldn\u2019t be able to do otherwise. The harmonizer that I use is made in Pure Data and it has functions that I couldn\u2019t find in any pedal out there on the market. It\u2019s this freedom to create what I need and discard what I don\u2019t that attracts me to this technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy.E.T. by Giorgio Distante<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hy.E.T. is designed as a modular tool. Its composition depends on the project in which I am involved. The heart of the instrument is a MIDI wind controller based on the emission (pressure sensor) and the positions (touch sensors) of the Bb horn. From there the possibilities are multiple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
