LiquidAudio was a course project for ECE362 at Purdue University. It takes in an audio signal from a standard stereo jack and outputs the average amplitude of 5 frequency bands in a pool of ferrofluid.
This video demonstrates the project to a few songs by Of Montreal (specifically, and respectively, "The Party's Crashing Me," "Oslo in the Summertime," and "Wraith Pinned to the Mist & Other Games")
Apologies for the shaky camera work and the buzzing on our low-frequency magnet.
this kind of thing looks as though it could be used rather creatively, like for something really original...it's so appropriate to put it to Of Montreal. everything with them is so visual, and not to mention like perfect.
