You bring your own bicycle and together we kit it out with our sound system... Within about twenty minutes, the bike is transformed into a buzzing Cyclophone ready to be let loose in the urban space. The simplicity of the process allows those with experience to easily replicate and share it, and form new teams
The basis of the electro-acoustic system is borrowed from «Cyclo-dynamo», and it consists in transforming the dynamo’s electrical signal into audible frequency.
With the first turn of the pedal, it’s magic... the speakers start humming. Once in the saddle, speed will have an effect on the production of electricity and thus modulate the sounds, going from high to low. And to stop it? One simple action is all it takes!
All the cyclists at the event
are invited to equip their
ride with our help and our
equipment.
Over the course of the day,
the Cyclo-phones multiply
and scatter across the
landscape colouring it with
their gentle hum.
