Ethan Ham's robotic slide whistle

Posted by Joel Johnson, October 24, 2008 7:47 AM | permalink

Ethan Ham built this motorized, vocoder-inspired slide whistle out of parts from an ink jet printer. It responds to sound input like a vocoder and responds with a pleasing whistle in kind.

In the above video, Ethan shows it off at Brooklyn's fantastic LEMURplex art space.

Sigh, fibreoptik. Looks like SOMEBODY needs to take the A-train. Let's see how you feel once you're on Sugar Hill in Harlem.
