Soundball (crate amp) is both an instrument and a sculpture. Viewers can manipulate the soundballs as a way to play with sound compositions. Each ball contains an accelerometer: the sound in each ball slows down or speeds up based on the ball’s axial location. The crate functions as a crate, a small stage and a speaker. The top surface is fitted with a bass resonator allowing viewers who stand on the crate to feel the sound as much as they hear it. An additional mid range resonator sounds the side of the crate.
