<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The project revolves around trying to make sound using analogue optoelectronics.<br />
<br />
We have a plan to build a keyboard that allows light to filter through etched microscope slides that traverse the light beam as they are pressed, with a sensor that will pick up the variances in the light that passes that will create a unique tone to the sound.<br />
<br />
We also hope to make spinning transparent disks that light will pass through to further add tone to the sounds.<br />
<br />
Use of prisms to slit lights could possibly add further harmonics to arrays of sensors.<br />
<br />
Ultimately we would like to have a synthesiser that will give the operator the ability to change all the sounds by replacing and/or customising various physical light filters.<br />
<br />
For a rich authentic sound we are not using any digital components.<br />
<br />
Would be great to get a bigger team, perhaps to focus on different parts(sensors, filters, housing, design, marketing)<br />
<br />
Kickstarter would be great if we can get a simple plan for a viable product together.<br />
<br />
Very early stages so ideas very welcome.</div>Londonstan
