Lumanoise

The Lumanoise is a drone synth I’ve develop for Otolab’s performance Megatsunami.

It's one square wave oscillator and one 12 bit sawtooth wave oscillator.

The pitch it’s controlled by 2 indipendent photo resistors and a 2 ch mixer.

Using different light on stage it’s possible to create nice synestetic effect.

KiNK in the lab with Leploop and Memory Man

Kink from Budapest, made this great video of a live jam with the leploop, this is the way we love to see the leploop in action.



Kink use the leploop for a release under Rush Hour Records, Amsterdam.

808 CY DRONE GENERATOR

I use the 808 CY cluster osc source for made a drone generator.

The 6 oscillators output have a separate volume.

I use faders from an old mixer.

The 12db LP filter with a switch for select cutoff  POT \ LDR.

Made fot Otolab, performance Megatsunami.

Lumasine

Lumasine it's the sine wave version of the Lumanoise.
Two simple transistor oscillator with a two ch. mixer.
Changing the value of the capacitor it's possible to have different oscillators range.
The photo resistor control the pitch, it's also possible use a potentiometer.

12 db low pass lep filter

Simple 12 db low pass filter.

This filter use 2 BC547 NPN transistor and a stereo 100k pot

 for the cutoff, instead of the pot. it's possible to use 2 photo resistor.

This filter can operate from 5 to 12 volt for simple application.

I've develop it with Peppo at LEP lab. in Milano.

I use it in this 6 bit noise generator, video.

Val Pastel made this filter audio test listen

A small revision for the 12 db filter, this schematics is calibrated for 12 volt use.

Photo Noise
text by Domenico Quaranta

Photo Noise (2011) is an installation based on Lumanoise, a synthesizer developed by Tonylight as a tool for audiovisual performances.
Lumanoise converts lights into sounds through photo resistors and wave oscillators: thus, using different kinds of light and modulating their intensity and frequency, it's possible to generate a synesthetic experience in which sound and light flow together, redesigning the space around us.
In the installation, the disturbing flickering of two strobe lights generates a permanent noise, slightly altered by the shadows cast by the audience walking around through the installation.
More than an interactive installation, Photo Noise can thus be described as a living body, an immaterial entity responding to the environment and its inhabitants.
Allowing us to see cables, circuitry and machinery, the installation displays Tonylight's interest in DIY practices and their dirty aesthetics, and brings together the two paths of the artist's research:
music performance and light design.

Photo Noise è un'installazione basata su Lumanoise, un sintetizzatore sviluppato da Tonylight, come strumento per performance audiovisive.

Lumanoise converte la luce in suono servendosi di fotoresistenze e oscillatori: colpendolo con diversi tipi di luce e modulando la loro intensità e frequenza, è possibile generare una esperienza sinestetica il cui luce e suono scorrono all'unisono, ridisegnando lo spazio attorno a noi.
Nell'installazione, il fastidioso lampeggiare di due luci stroboscopiche genera un noise permanente, alterato dalle ombre proiettate dagli spettatori che si muovono al suo interno.
Più che un'installazione interattiva, Photo Noise è quindi un corpo vivente, un'entità immateriale che risponde all'ambiente e ai suoi abitanti.
Lasciando cavi, circuiti e macchine a vista, l'installazione rivela l'interesse di Tonylight per le pratiche fai-da-te e la loro estetica "sporca", e riunisce i due aspetti della ricerca dell'artista: la
performance musicale e il light design.
