brief

An attempt at creating a sort of "organism" emulating device that would
    be generated by sound and, at the same time, be the sound. The device is built 
    using old speaker parts sequeezed into a black box. The speaker rim sticking 
    out serves as a sort of cultivation dish where the organims lives and dies.
    
    In one of my previous projects, I created a medium for myself that was both 
    opening and restricting me at the same time. This project feels the same way, 
    as I am forced to use high freequency or very low frequency sounds to create 
    the effect I need. It's interesting to work with medium 
    
    Originally, the organism component was made of non-newtonian fluid that was 
    composed of 2 parts corn starch and 1 part water as well as some colouring. 
    The fluid was reactive enough for a successful project, but after 2 or so 
    tests, the luiquid had damaged the speaker beyond repair. 
    
    Some attempts at insulating the speaker were attempted but the results were 
    less than satisfactory. A substitue for the "organism" component had to be 
    found.
    
    The project currently uses salt instead of a liquid. The salt is controlled 
    using sine tones to move it around a stretch piece of plastic on top of the 
    speaker head.
    
    Using certain tones, the salt moves into patterns in a sort of reactive way, 
    making the sound just as much part of the organism as the salt is.
