Wired Rotation is an experimental sound machine that provides a platform for fragile, rasping and metallic sounds. It explores whether constant rotation can turn noises into sounds and rhythms.
In music theory, a tone is explained as an acoustic signal with certain regularities. A tone is generally a physical event that occurs when matter or an elastic body (wood, metal, air, etc.) begins to vibrate periodically. This oscillation can be described in a simplified way as a sine wave.
Wired Rotation simulates this regularity of a sine wave by the constant 360° rotation of stepper motors as a kind of analogy.
An aluminum wire is attached to the pin of the stepper motor so that the wire moves on the metal plate driven by the stepper motor. The sound of the aluminium wire scraping on the metal plate seems to have a regularity or a repeating pattern of sound.
Wired Rotation experimentally investigates whether this regularity of the wire's rotation can translate the sound into a tone, a rhythm or possibly something between tonality and noise.
