Screenshot of the Max patch for Johanna Bramli's "ReCycle~" instrument
ReCycle~ is built in Max/MSP and looks for audio files found in Bramli's computer bin to play back in randomised ways, using a large galvanised bin as the interface, alongside light detectors and loudspeakers which are hidden in the bin itself. When the lid of the bin is lifted, randomised sounds are played back with the amount of light allowed in affecting the cut-off. In this way the bin is able to be played.
