In a fantastic melding of art and audio visualization, two Dutch artists have created a 3D ceramics printer which translates sound and music into textures in clay vessels. In their “Solid Vibration” project, spatial sound designer Ricky van Broekhoven and designer Olivier van Herpt mounted a powerful speaker beneath a platform on which lines of clay are laid down by a ceramic print head. Different frequency notes translate into large and small wiggles in the lines of clay.
