finally rigged these old enchanted artifacts up to enough modern gear to functionally reanimate a couple parts of the original system. the part i thought was the podium is the compass and the part i thought was the compass is the podium but now that i have the two straightened out, the focusing crystal actually works ! we’ll kind of. it doesn’t levitate anymore, you have to hold it. also you have to kinda make a bottom-of-the-heart wish like really focus on it the whole time you’re playing or the notes will get detuned until you just can’t hear them anymore. the compass doesn’t work without conductive tape but i had tons so we’re chillin. also you might not be able to see much of anything because the whole room flashes purple whenever music is playing, and i was playing that piano on my bluetooth speaker. the synth makes its own ruckus tho - i think it comes from the crystal .. at least it sounds like it does until you get up close. then you just can’t hear it. but from any more than like a foot and a half away it sounds obviously clearly like it’s coming from the crystal. little worried about long-term effects on my senses but whatcha gonna do i guess.
(for those curious, this is an interactive musical art-project/sculpture/concept-synthesizer i’m working on. it uses a playtronica playtron and a proximidi by copper-and-cedar. special thanks to julia and ruben respectively from those teams.)
