Äänipahvilaatikko
Artist: Toni Laakso
Toni Laakso was born in the mid-70's and has since spent his time lurking on
the sidelines, looking for opportunities to make little adjustments here and
there to the way world operates. Toni's favorite moments are when previously
unrelated things come together like they were meant to be that way, yet completely
unplanned.
Creation of Äänipahvilaatikko was one of those
moments. On the outside it appears to be an ordinary cardboard box. However
when plugged in the power outlet it comes alive. Left untouched the box generates
acoustic feedback on a rather pleasant low frequency. It's not just for creating
ambience though, the box can also be used as a musical instrument. One of the
walls on the box is touch sensitive: moving a finger across it modulates the
frequency of the feedback.
