Clapping Music for two flip-disc displays


Reich’s Clapping Music performed on a pair of electromechanical flip-disc displays.

The two displays sound different from one another: while a single dot makes a soft snick, such that updating many dots yields a whirring noise, a single digit’s segment makes a much sharper clack, and a fast digits update creates an agressive clacking din. :) A friend recently suggested adding the set of chromatic rainbow desk bells displayed nearby to the performance, which would be pretty cool; I’m still mulling over how best to implement her idea.
