Sustainable audio pollution in the city
With Vélophonik, Dånk! Collective examines the audible presence of bicycles in traffic, with the use of green power.
Bicycles are equipped with speakers connected to their dynamos, some of them with additional effect pedals, contact mics and switches. Riding these bicycles results in loud noises that varies according to speed, gear level and bicycling style and also creates a Doppler effects when passing by people. All power and sounds come from riding the bicyles.
Vélophonik workshops and performances have been happening at various sites and cities. The piece is a Dånk! project and more information and video documentation is to be found on the Dånk! website.
