Below are projects I created between 2009 and 2012.
2009. The "Bum Tschack Wippe" is a seesaw that makes sound. I designed and created the seesaw and developed a sound unit which is made for mobile use on other playgrounds and playground equipment. The seesaw itself is built out of larch wood and stands on a 6m to 8m lawn. It was installed on Dockville Festival, a 15000 visitors indie music festival in Hamburg.
The sound unit is a coaster wagon equipped with a Sensor, a PA-System and a MacBook. The sensor – an Arduino and accelerometer in an aluminium box – is attached with hook-and-loop tape on the seesaw beam. The software I've written for this project, reads the sensor data, analyses the movement of the seesaw and and provides information like position, endurance, regularity, intensity and beats per minute via OSC.
I created a second software called Influquencer, a sequencer that receives the OSC data and sends out midi signals to turn the analysed movement into music. To learn more about Influquencer, see the notes on this flickr image. I would love to release this software as soon as possible but need to remove some bugs first.
For now, watch this video to see people enjoying the Bum Tschack Wippe.

"Bum – Tschack, rauf – runter. Der Multimediatüftler Michael Schieben verwandelt eine einfache Wippbewegung in Beats. Musiker und Sounddesigner sind dazu eingeladen, daraus wiederum ihre eigenen Kompositionen zu entwickeln. Die Bum Tschack Wippe, deren Name sich aus den Bezeichnungen der Rockmusik für Bass-Drum und Snare zusammensetzt, erweitert den Dockville-Spielplatz um eine weitere Installation an der Schnittstelle von kinderleichter Nutzung und musikalischer Vision. Wie lässt sich ein analoges Spielgerät digital erweitern? Wie verändert sich das Spiel dadurch?
