Paper Note ~ A Tangible Paper Waveform (2012)

Paper Note creates a tangible waveform by transforming a recording into a series of disks.

Full Description

The user records a message or sound which is then analyzed by the program and mapped into a waveform of 450 sample points. Each sample point is transformed into a paper disk with the size of the disk representing the volume of the recording at a specific point - the louder the volume, the bigger the disk. Our algorithm scales the physical waveform to a sculpture size of approximately 14cm. This project was created in collaboration with Andrew Spitz (www.soundplusdesign.com) and coded used Processing (www.processing.org)
