day five – Vibrator Bike presentation

It pours with rain so no chance to show off our creation outside. Instead, after a brief lecture on the practice and history of bicrophonics, it’s a squeeze in the Charterhouse front corridor, which still seems to keep everyone happy and keen to be the next one to have a ride.

We’ve made a good step. Although the bike is not yet cyclable as there was no time to fix a chain and pedals and brakes and gears, and we do need a much more rigid plywood for the chamber and time to play with more careful positioning and powering of the transducers and sub, the overall result is fabulous. We have designed and built a Vibrator Bike in four days, whose experience, even at this prototype stage, is one of absolute pleasure which also opens new doors to wide ranging perception through instrument design, moving through space horizontal.

Many thanks to Imagineer Productions for their vision and energy, to Bill Gee for detailed care, to Gaynor for warm support , to Lisa and the bicrophonic crew and to Nick Martin for generous skill and as much passion as me to see the job through. Now let’s work to make the real thing.
