The Uncollected

The Uncollected is a sculptural sound and kinetic work by William Tucci. A servo motor is placed inside the sculpture to change the positions of the record player's playing head to find various loops and sound patterns playing a physically manipulated record of Bo Thorp and his Orchestra.

I am still working on a few structural elements to make the horn of the gramophone fee standing and improve the servo sweep code. Once these aspects a in further stages of completion the piece The Uncollected will be a contemporary maser piece.

Arduino code in progress:

#include <Servo.h> 

Servo myservo;  

int pos = 45;   

int pause = 100;

void setup() 

{ 

  myservo.attach(9);  

} 

void loop() 

{ 

  for(pos = 45; pos < 135; pos += 1)  

  {                                  

    myservo.write(pos);            

    delay(pause);                      

  } 

  for(pos = 135; pos>=45; pos-=1)      

  {                                

    myservo.write(pos);               

    delay(pause);                        

  } 

}
