PLUVIOPHONE
Jan Schulz & Mauricio Valdés San Emeterio
The Pluviophone, an acoustic rain monitoring station, designed as a large-scale resonator, monitors precipitation as both scientific device and sonic instrument. Contact microphones and glass resonators capture the acoustic imprints of raindrops, allowing intensity, time scale, and drop-size distribution to be studied through sound. Beyond generating data, the installation transforms these signals into evolving soundscapes, making these environmental phenomena tangible as an acoustic experience.
