Hello my name is Sam Cusumano and welcome to Electricity for Progress! I am an educator and an Engineer for the Arts, using electronic components and sounds to lead workshops, classes, and performances which explore human interactivity and attempt to represent complex electrical and biological processes using circuits and sound.
Checkout the many posts on electronics, look through the Biodata Sonification Forum, and my Store where you can purchase electronics Kits, completed Synthesizer Modules, and request custom devices or electronics repair! Also I have videos on the Electricity for Progress Youtube channel
- The Wildflower Botanical Orchestra performs – The Sun Stands Still
This musical piece is performed by the resident plants of the Wildflower Botanical garden, using sensors to track the changing biological states of the plants over <35> days through the Winter Solstice (November 25th – December 31st).
