↑↑↑% (up percent) is a sound installation that reveals possible interactions of natural systems, sound and humans.

The assembled installation is sensitive to changes in the electrostatic field, which can be triggered by either a soft touch from humans, wind, moisturisation, or the invisible turbulence inside the vessels and vines. Measured changes control parameters of the digitally synthesised sound (oscillation frequencies, LFO rates, modulation index).

The sound is real-time generated by the Mozzi library running on a microcontroller (ESP32). The output signal from the DAC is amplified by a mono D amplifier PAM8302.

↑↑↑% attempts to aestheticise the chaotic dynamics in the physical world. As we program our digital system to generate noise procedurally, we are more than welcome to take the input from natural systems and trigger undetectable patterns.
