The SOUND CLOUD is a speaker
with a light emitting glass. The speaker works with a sound module attached
to the glass surface.
The module vibrates the glass surface and creates high quality sound. The glass
panel consists of 3 layers of glass, which makes
the sound even deeper. A glass fitted in the middle is a light emitting glass
called "LED in Glass", invented by QUANTUM GLASS.
LED bars are fitted around the edge of the glass to direct light beams through
the edge of the extra clear glass sheet, which is
refracted out of the front side by white enamel screen print. I tried to create
a thin layer of cloud using millions of tiny dots of light.
It visually should float in the air. So, it gradually disappears near the ground.
The sound is designed by the French based Sound designer, Gling-Glang. My request
to the sound designer was that visitors
should be able to feel the sculptural construction of the music by walking through
the glass panels. They should be able to hear the
sound move from one to another, jumping back and forth and echoing from the
panels.Furthermore, when all the connected speakers
work simultaneously the sound wave hit is an incredible feeling.
