Bacterial Orchestra

A "self-organizing evolutionary musical organism", that's how the makers of Bacterial Orchestra define this sound installation. The cells in this organism are made of speakers and microphones, listening to the sounds that are surrounding them.

Visitors interact with Bacterial Orchestra by simply making a sound. I like the idea of having a system that takes your input and gives it back in a new form. The installation is created by Olle Cornéer and Martin Lübcke.

This is pretty cool. I hope he has a peak limiter on the final output though, since all those microphones with all those effects, specifically pitch shift delays, I would think is a recipe for massive feedback if you fed it something loud on input. ;-)

That's a good point redvoid! I bet the system is created in a way that avoid things like that. It could become pretty messy otherwise :)
