After BYOR night I started experimenting and forming tiny sound sculptures built on the head of a pushpin- the idea came from the cheap accessibility of making LED Throwies and the random fun that comes with harmless graffiti. I took a mini pager motor, a 3 volt battery, some aluminum foil and wire, the pin and of course ducktape and pieced them together:

The sound it generates is kind of a gentle rustling that, when combined with many, forms this great wall of sound. I’d like to take this project and hold an openhack around putting them together and having a shared experience of the sound generated in a park when there are no leaves on the trees. In the meantime I made an instructable on it in case you’d like to do it at home!
