tape loop machine

working on the online

lars and the speaker

After several days of tweaking and (re)soldering, we made the instrument play pre-recorded sound loops. We connected the tape machine to the arduino and had a python script that counts how many times “Obama” is mentioned on a Google News page send values through it to the power supply of the motor. The duration of each loop responds to the news “discourse”, prolonging the length of the sound with the number of occurrences.
