Swinging Objects / Pendulum

I notice some of you have ideas that can be somewhat turned into pendulums (or swinging/flying objects.)

These are some of the videos I found when I did game 3(swinging rocks!) last year.

Pendulum Music - Steve Reich.




Gordon Monahan - Speaker Swinging



Pocket Gamelan -  Greg Schiemer




mPoi : Musical Poi - Sangbong Nam (there's a paper about this in NIME 2013)



This video is NOT a music piece but you MUST look.

I think pendulum has a limited control for musical expression ( due to the repetitive nature? ) but maybe it is an ideal apparatus to have phasing in music.

  1. Thanks, Sang!
    I preferred the sounds in that version of "Pendulum Music" much more than the last version I saw.
    And that last swinging waves video is mind blowing. Like a visual "Piano Phase" on steroids.
