SOUND SYSTEM WASHING MACHINE

Pictures of the first prototypes in a school of art in Feb 2009, in Aix en Provence, France. One prototype working with sound, boomer loudspeakers to agitate water through the vibration of the container , not low tech, and expensive. But it was fun to write “music for clothes” with the open source software Pure Data
