CLIC activation

Tonight @ 5pm, an in-situ intervention in the CLIC lab test module.
Here’s some lo-fi live video snippets of the electro-acoustic accelerator activation, a kind of resonance feedback experiment. The accelerator itself is transmitting and emitting the sound, which is all created from analogue voltages (and no samples or sequencers), and there are no speakers. The setup works with the material and acoustic resonances of the accelerator’s structure and (non-working) beam tube, using 4 transducer exciter speakers and a contact mic to create a feedback system, with the sound/energy travelling along the length of the accelerator setup. Plus there is a bit of live tuning and tweaking to find the right pulses and frequencies.

And a Saturday night reprise, with slightly better video quality…
(and this reveals what was the mystery delivery was, it is my “analogue laptop”! : )
