Hi, My name is Shtilyan Peev and I am a member of team 8. 

When I got introduced to the team, I was not present in the Netherlands, so I worked from distance. Communication from distance is always hard but we managed to figure it out. I was introduced to the ideas the team already came up with and was asked to help with thinking of new concept. 

​

The direction the team headed was towards creating installation for music and art. Therefore I started thinking about how to combine these two different but in the same time intertwined subjects into one interactive experience.

​

I got inspired by Chladni experiments with sound. He basically found a way to visualize sounds by using sand and metal plate. This got me thinking about how can we translate that into an interactive installation.

​

What I came up with was a machine that uses distant sensors to create sounds and visuals on a screen. The visuals and sounds would change depending on x axes and the volume and speed of drawing of the figures would change on y axes.

The idea was well received and this is how I got involved in the project.
