Convergence is an interactive installation which allows the audience to create music and an interlinked visual display of geometric patterns. This is all achieved through the manipulation of a few simple electronic oscillators.

&nbsp;

The installation presents the public with a circular control station monitored by a small camera hanging directly above it.

<strong>Background:</strong>
This piece is an evolved version of a musical instrument I have recently designed called the <a href="http://casperelectronics.com/finished-pieces/nova-drone/">NovaDrone</a>. There is extensive documentation of this project <a href="http://casperelectronics.com/finished-pieces/nova-drone/">here</a>.

The NovaDrone is a sound and light synthesizer which uses analog oscillators and pulse width modulation to create interlink sound and light.
This technology will be implemented in Convergence to achieve lighting effects similar to the video below. The second video below shows a complex visual display which is created by holding a digital camera up to the light source. This effect will be utilized to create the visual display for Convergence.

<strong>Sound&Light installations:</strong>
The projects below deal with similar topics of interlinked sound and light and public engagement.
