My role on Hello Hello was to manage the audio system for this interactive, permanent installation. This was an adaptation of a previous non-permanent project that had numerous new technical and artistic factors ambitions to consider and implement. I joined the project in the design phase, working on interaction prototypes and demos before determining the core mechanics required.

The audio aspect of the system is built in Max 8 (gen~, JS, VSTs) and communicates with the lighting control via OSC. Beyond the main challenge of building a reliable system that converts visitor vocal input into musical interpretations; there were numerous challenges surrounding resource management, a ducking system to avoid feedback of the microphones proximity to the playback system, and voice isolation against the sound of a busy natural environment.
