“Loom” is the result of combining two interests I had at the time - algorithmic composition and weaving. To experiment with sonifying the act of weaving, I built an 8’ standing warp-weighted loom in the old Norse style and outfitted it with various sensors to record the actions of the shuttle, swaying warp and weft threads and the bar as i pulled it forward and let it drop back again. The sensor readings were sent to a Max/MSP patch which converted the values into a soundscape accompanying the weaving performance.
