Electromechanical Modular
by Gjis Gieskes
🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 2015
“Electromechanical Modular” by Gjis Gieskes received a Honorary Mention in the Digital Musics & Sound Art category of the Prix Ars Electronica 2015.
The idea for this project comes from one of the first things I made with electronics, a mechanical sequencer. When I made the *Seq1* and *5-volt sequencer* I hardly knew anything about electronics, I made it mechanical because it was the only way I knew how to build it.
