Makey Makey Audio Player Sketch – Sound Collage

For my audio player sketch, I decided to find some sounds on freesound.org to create a beach/beach house ambient soundscape. There is a sound for waves, seagulls, a boat’s foghorn, wind chimes, and a barking dog. Using the master Makey Makey patch in Max, I bound the waves sound to the spacebar and the other four to one of each of the arrow keys. For the physical element, I used the conductive pencil and drew some corresponding drawings to represent each sound. Large water droplets for the waves, a seagull for the seagulls, a megaphone/speaker for the foghorn, wind chimes for the wind chimes, and a dog house for the barking dog.
