Description
VinelTone is a sound installation structured around the mechanics of a vinyl record. A spinning disc passes beneath a color sensor, which reads color data in real time and translates it into changing sound parameters. As the disc rotates, visual information is continuously converted into sound, allowing the composition to evolve through physical movement rather than follow a fixed sequence.
The project began as an early exploration of generative sound driven by mechanical motion, testing how color could function as input and be transformed into auditory output through computational processing. This logic later carried into Blueprint of Memory, where it was developed further through audience participation and a more fully realized cross-sensory system.
