Ryan and Jason have spent the past few days busting their asses trying to get our fabrication done in time to get some tests done before the critique this friday. The project itself is looking really good, they have pieced together the body of the observatory creating a full cylinder, added the top piece with the tilt platform attached with hinges, also mounted in speakers and created a mechanism to adjust the angle of the tilt.
Jared has finished the max patch and is now working on ways to create a nicer sound for the stars to make.
I have a chance to kick back a bit and start planning for the coming exhibition, I'm thinking possibly incorporating a mix of the old and the new into the exhibition as the apparatus itself incorporates both a victorian and very modern feel to the observatory. So we came up with the idea of creating sort of Da Vinci style sketches of some of the more technical parts of the apparatus to incorporate this into the style too.
