In a world filled with loud and strong opinions, Organ Organ challenges you to make your individual voice heard. Inspired by the staggering sounds of church organs, this synthesizer is made for empowerment. Let it be loud! Overwhelm yourself.

How does it work?

This synthesizer is built with a teensy 3.2, a soundboard, a microphone, and eight light sensors. The microphone gain, and the gain on the mixer, can be adjusted by creating shadows on the sculpture. By increasing the microphone gain, the volume will rise. By increasing the mixer gain, there will be a delay and heavy feedback. Altogether, this creates an ongoing echo of your own voice.
