Jamming gear: research on gearwheeled timing playback devices

Published: 24 January 2010 Publication History

Abstract

Jamming Gear is a concept gadget allowing you to control music through the tangible arrangement of gears, wherein each music loop is played in full, within each full rotation of a single gear.
The system consists of custom-made computer software, five modules and several gears of varying size. The modules comprise of two types, one Mother Module, controlling the rotation direction and speed to the remaining four Gear Modules. Each Gear Module sends its rotation data back to the computer wirelessly, thus controlling the corresponding music loop. Depending on the size of the gear placed on a module, the rotation speed changes and playback of the music loop is altered accordingly. By combining many different sized gears, you are able to layer and control complicated music arrangement, needless to say is also enjoyable to watch.
