Heptapiano - piano space for 7 automatic piano players
At the Ars Electronica Festival 2011, in the freeroom of lentos, seven automatic piano players of the serie Rhea has been arranged in an 20m diameter circle and played like an ambisonics spatial piano space. The commissioned work by the ars electronica center Linz has used as a base the 32th trope of Josef Matthias Hauer "Und die Wellen umspielen uns" for self replicant mutation algorythms embedded in noise waves of piano tones.

First Ambisonics and discrete sound Experiments in the dome in Pischelsdorf
On 6th of August 2012 we finally started with first experiments implementing the sound dome.
"Soundin" for the (sound) dome
Sounding is a performance for the opening, introduction of the dome in Pischelsdorf as a start for the implementation of the sound dome project.
Dom construction finished, last element set
After the last element was set in the dome, it will be opened at 1th October 2011, where as a starting point with the performance Eintönen, the acoustics will be explored artistically.
Auditory Virtual Environment (AVE) for the sound-dome
Ambisonics has been selected as technology for the Implementation of the AVE needed for the "small worlds" (Kleine Welten) sound installation in the dome in Pischelsdorf (KULM). Some information about AVE and Ambisonics is collected here for a further understanding.
"Eintönen" - "soundin" with low power audio equippment
With "Eintönen" - "soundin" the dome was taken into sound action, testing acoustics and performing a little piece with only battery powered small equipment was realized to test and get the specification for future audio system power.
escher and escherFET as CC by NC-SA released
New generation of Algorythmics microcontroller boards using a microchip dsPIC motor control chip (or other) with an 10MBit Ethernet Interface. With its 72 I/O Pins, 16 PWMs, 16 ADCs and several other interfaces it is used for faster and robust robotic application like the Autoklavierspieler.
Woodscratcher live at "EXPOZICE NOVÉ HUDBY" in Brno
