Inside the Telephone


I took the telephone apart and connected the existing circuit board to a keyboard circuit board; so that buttons 1-9 on the phone linked to certain keys on the keyboards circuit board. This keyboard then plugs in to my laptop through the usb port. Using a program called Pure Data, I found a Multiple Sampler Patch, this means that each button is recognised as a 'bang' input; for example, pressing button 1 on the phone connects to letter j on the keyboard, which is translated into a number in pd. I can program exactly what I want the 'bang's' outcome to be, in this case they are all pre-recorded audio: which are then programed to be played through external speakers.
