But feel free to leave your own two-word-only review in the comments. Could be fun to see the range of responses without all that pesky reading.

Student’s Ambient Walkman http://www.bunkre.com/blog/2007/03/mit-student%e2%80%99s-ambient-walkman/ http://www.bunkre.com/blog/2007/03/mit-student%e2%80%99s-ambient-walkman/#comments Wed, 14 Mar 2007 02:05:40 +0000 BUNKRE http://bunkre.com/blog/?p=29 Continue reading →]]> An M.I.T. Media Lab grad student by the name of Noah Vawter has created a sort of anti-iPod that he calls Ambient Addition. It’€™s a small hand held device that samples surrounding sounds, chews them up, and spits them back out looped, effected, and harmonized to create an auto-adapting ambient soundtrack to the user’€™s environment.

Although the masses won’t likely find it as charming as he does, it does seem like a fun little toy that I wouldn’t mind borrowing for an afternoon. If you live in the Boston area, I suspect you can track it down by following Thom Yorke’s trail of drool.

His self-made demonstration video is difficult to watch and offers very little ear candy, but here it is anyway:

For a better explanation and plenty more clips, check out the March 12th episode of the New Scientist Podcast. You can download it directly here. The segment begins at about 9:45 in.

A New York Times article on Vawter and his strange little device can be found here.
