Title
The rumentarium project
Abstract
The paper describes the design, production and usage of the "Rumentarium", a computer-based sound generating system involving physical objects as sound sources. The Rumentarium is a set of handmade resonators, acoustically excited by DC motors, interfaced to a computer by four microcontrollers. Following an ecological/anthropological perspective, in the Rumentarium discarded materials are used as sound sources. While entirely computationally-controlled, the Rumentarium is an acoustic sound generator. The paper provides a general description of the Rumentarium and discusses some artistic applications.
