Ideas











































































This is the basic idea for my board. I want to create a time-based sound piece by attaching pieces of metal, glass and plastic with holes drilled in them. When it rains the water will flow through the holes creating interesting tones as it hits the different objects. I still need to find a few more objects and I need to finalize the layout.

This is my take on the history theme. The rain symbolizes the flood at the Mattress Factory, the newspapers and phone book just represent people (past and present).

Materials: Metal, Plastic, Glass?, tea/coffee-stained newspapers and phonebooks, found objects

I encourage you to post your sketches or ideas so that we can all get on the same page while we are away from the class.

kevin,

this really is a very interesting concept. the metal pots and pans will work much better than the glass which could shatter too easily. i love the coffee stains used to age the papers. the newspapers and phonebook pages will age quite nicely when it rains and suns on them. the passage of time. names, places, and stories fade over time. time marches on and like rain is contained in the infinite.
