Soundpod D2000 the Process...


 Here we are with our sound pods testing unit , we validated noises and tested our charge from one solar cell (acquired from Goal Zero one of our Fantastic Sponsors.)
We also experimented with triggering delays and how much sound was possible before cacophony occurred.
All the sounds were recorded in Seattle and the surrounding forests, all local residents featured in this project.
For those local residents whom we couldn't get on our digital recorder this time we mimicked by slowing down the birds call and copying a much deeper voice at this slower rate  then bringing it back up to speed. This included  the Anna's Humming bird; who visits our feeders often but is elusive to film and recording.
The actual pod sits below the electronics board.

depending on how you want to see it.so many organic resemblances could be made but you can make your own.
