The installation was recorded twice a day and the current version is rendered from thos recordings using physical models of the original glass tubes.
Source code (excerpt) for the faust process to excite the virtual tube:
import("glassVase1.lib"); strike(g) = pm.strike(pos, sharpness, gn, g) with { pos = hslider("pos", 0.5, 0, 1, 0.001); sharpness = hslider("sharpness", 0.5, 0, 1, 0.001); gn = hslider("ex_gain", 0.5, 0, 1, 0.001); }; process = strike(gate) : glassVase1(exPos, 2, 0.2, 0.5)*gain <: _,_;
Pure data patch for playing the physical model:
