Wireless Alcohol Sensor (Nunk on Droise)

I’ve just completed a wireless alcohol sensor that is embedded in a beer can. It’s a MQ-3 alcohol sensor connected to an ATMEGA168 microcontroller (programmed with Arduino) itself connected to a Blue SMiRF Bluetooth module. Everything is powered by a 9V battery. Communication is serial and wireless through Bluetooth.


I will use it as a complement to the five alcohol sensors box I’m already using for my Nunk on Droise performance. The idea is to use it as a kind of wireless microphone to interact with the audience.

I’ve updated the page of my works too and added a page especially dedicated to the Sperm Soccer project.

droisus interruptus

First, I want to thank all the artists who played, the people who helped and the ones who came for making last Saturday’s event (Gerusch in der Lederhose) at Highti a success.
The “Droise & The Ningen Dogs Orchestra” act (fortunately, the last act) was interrupted by an angry and probably drunk neighbor (second time that it happens in few months) but not before the Ningen Dogs Orchestra could dance and sing to the sound-activated lights and the magic wand of Utako. Droise’s act itself was a bit short but we had a lot of fun so the interruption was quickly forgotten.
Kakawaka is back to Berlin but droise shall come back, stronger than ever ! And The Ningen Dogs Orchestra will be back soon too.

Some pictures by Satomi.
Video in two parts: part 1 and part 2 with the interruption by the neighbor. Videos by Alexis.

Kakawaka vs. 23N!

I’ve uploaded the video of our performance at Fourth Floor (2009.03.27) on YouTube. It’s in three parts: 01 / 02 / 03.
I was playing solo as “Nunk on Droise” last Sunday at Gari Gari but forgot to turn on the camera… So no video and no pictures either. May be some pictures will appear on the web soon.

The next event will be at Highti next Saturday (04/04) and we’re working on the Droise & The Ningen Dogs Orchestra (first live ever for them !) performance. I’m preparing some German food too (sauerkraut !) to be served during the event so I don’t see what kind of excuse you could have for not coming (moreover, lederhosenfilme will be shown)!

droise @ golden egg

I’ve uploaded the video (two parts) of the droise live performance at golden egg (a very nice place in the middle of Kabukicho, Shinjuku) on 2009/03/24 on YouTube (videos by Utako).
This was the first droise show in more than 18 months, I guess our hard training in a Bavarian Shaolin temple was worth it !
The next droise show will be at Highti on 4/4 and it will be the last one before a while. Don’t miss it !

Sound of Life & Noise Under the Influence

I’ve uploaded a page with my most recent works/projects. There are links to pictures on Flickr, video on YouTube and some web pages with details on the works or projects.
I’ve just made a demo video for my most recent project “Sound of Life“. I hope to make a performance soon based on this project.

Anyway, I know it’s raining but if you can, please come to Fourth Floor tonight for a performance (as 23N!) based on my other project “Noise Under the Influence” aka “Nunk on Droise”. A demo video was uploaded recently.
