Re: [microsound] Aquarium music

[bryan garcia <brymoxine@xxxxxxxxx>]

this method has been employed in service of
architecture.
toyo ito to be specific.  in japan there is a water
tower that responds to the same elements you mention,
i.e. light , wind , temp, etc, and is expressed in the
concert or irredescent materials used in the
construction.   your idea sounds very interesting.  
you could realize music of different geographies from
a single point.   music of genoa.  music of san
antonio. etc, by obtaining information off the
internet, and feed into your simulation.   best of
luck.   keep us apprised of your trials.
