Rainlith: A Robotic, Responsive Rainstick, Powered by Kinect. In a responsive, real-time sculpture, the simple sonic qualities of a rainstick become electronically enhanced. Rainlith, a “kinetic sound art” work by Rui Gato, makes the rainstick itself robotic, its sounds transformed in space in a way that is itself sculptural. Responding to movement in the space using Microsoft’s Kinect, the apparatus is a geektastic brew of just about every tool you could imagine involved in this sort of construction.
The artist shares full details, reproduced here in both English and Portugese – and Rui, thanks for sending this in: Rainlith 2 – Kinectic sound art piece. On Rainlith, the primitive naturally granular sound of a big rainstick gets explored in real-time by cyber-age sound manipulation tools.
