As I was talking about in the previous post, Torshov Kompetansesenter has a lot of great "toys", this is one of them. It is not really a very toy-ish thing, it is in fact a real musical instrument. And what an instrument! You sit on the end of the box and you hit the bars / tines cut out from the top of the box. You can also play two people on the box at the same time, sitting opposed to one another. The sensation of feeling the vibrations from that huge resonating box and hearing that great voluminous, yet mellow, sound is fantastic! Ill try to figure out what the producer is called, but as of right now I cannot remember.

Torshov kompetansesenter pt.1: Love the ambience
We went to visit Torsho Kompetansesenter on wedn. the 14. of Jan and the experience was lovely. It is a place for people with disabilities to experience great sensory input and stimulance. I especially enjoyed all the ambient stuff: music, lights, tactile surfaces and so on.. But they had some really great "toys" as well. Everyone should have some of these things in their homes, the world would become a better place:-0. The image above shows some fiberoptics which you could actually wrap your self in, see more on my flickr stream.

Sound sculpture at Nationaltheateret train station
We went to experience / analyze the sound sculpture at the west entrance (next to the American embassy) of Nationatheateret train station. The shape of the roof reflects sound with different volume and timing in accordance to how you have positioned yourself. The result is a sweet, a bit wierd but natural reverb-ish effect. It is quite nice, I recommend it.
The weather reporters POV
Looking into the lights and cameras from the NRK experience centre, an instillation letting visitors experience how it is to be in front of the green screen
A post moved from another blog service
Vælkømmin ijnn!
Never been big on bloggin´, but that shall not stop me from doing better this time… In advance, please excuse my rather irratic posting frequency, I cannot help it. Maybe some some sort of interesting content will surface in my postings, but I really cannot promise that either. Take what you get, I make (as you might now have already understood) no promises! Nonetheless, you are welcome in for a cup ´o babble!

A move from another blog-service
I did a move to blogger because of a couple of ease-of-use aspects.
