Sound Effects:
For an extra challenge, different mechanical sounds are incorporated into some of my kinetic sculptures. I would love to hear your suggestions for making various sound effects! Please send me your ideas through CONTACT.
Turn up the volume!
A Croaking Frog
Can you guess what is inside the cardboard tube, producing the frog’s croak? The tube ‘seesaws’ with pulleys as the crank is turned.
A Roaring Dinosaur
Have you ever made animal sounds using a wet string and a tin can?
Old Time Music on a record and SOS telegraph message!
The record is played using a pin inserted into a papier-mâché cone. The turntable spins as the crank is turned. The trick was to gear the speed down to approximately 33rpm!
The man is not enjoying the music very much and is sending out an SOS message. Can you guess how the SOS clicks are produced?
