Thesis Outline

This thesis will explores how natural forces like temperature, direction, magnetism, and gravity can be used to control sound devices such as MIDI controllers and synthesizers. Rather than relying on traditional, stable inputs (like pressing keys or turning knobs), we investigate how unpredictable, changing elements from nature can be used to influence sound production. The idea is to treat nature as a kind of "language" that machines can understand and respond to in real-time, creating a more dynamic and organic way to control devices.

Beyond just controlling sound, this project aims to experiment with how different technologies can interact with each other. By using natural forces to control devices, we can create new and unexpected results. For example, changes in wind direction might not only affect sound but also trigger visual changes or interact with other devices, creating a chain reaction. The goal is to explore how these connections between sound, natural data, and other forms of technology can open up creative possibilities that go beyond traditional methods.

To take this experiment further, the thesis will also explore how these ideas can be combined into a website or an interactive HTML platform. This would allow users to experience the sound, visuals, and interactions online, making the project more immersive. By connecting natural forces with sound devices and digital platforms, this project aims to create an evolving system where the physical and digital worlds blend together in new and interesting ways.
