Sing Dance Eat (day 244)

Matching a tuning fork with the singing bowl didn't quite work.  Partially it's because the tuning fork is simply too small to make the bowl resonate and partially because the bowl does not resonate at a perfect B Flat.  I think if the first thing is remedied perhaps the second would be less relevant.  I think we would have better luck working with a piezo to induce a kind of resonance.  What I'd like to see is the bowl getting to resonance without the need for the wooden stick.  That way it becomes a kind of actuator for the interactive piece.

In the evening we attended two interactive dance performances in the IDS.  Both were great and made use of different kinds of motion tracking techniques to interact with text and type.  There are three other performances tomorrow (4, 6, and 8pm).

We ended the day at Boneta which we found out is part of Dine Out Vancouver.  The food was absolutely amazing.  A great deal for sure.

So again, not exactly a success-filled day but not a bad day altogether.

A song for this post.
