sound/light/Morse Code project begins

Last weekend Sarah and I recorded our friend Meagan singing for our Morse Code project, she studies opera so her voice is very powerful and clear. All we asked her to do was hold a note for a few seconds, she varied the amount of vibrato for each recording so that we had as much material as possible to work with. This audio file will be edited into Morse Code and played out of the speaker on one side of the partition.  A Power-point presentation will be created out of blank and black slides which when projected on the other side of the partition will produce Morse Code through pulses of light.
Last night Sarah and I stayed up far too late creating these audio and light shows. Sarah had never used her audio editing software before so the atmosphere was a bit tense for a while as we tried to work out how to cut and arrange 0.5sec intervals of sound without deleting everything. My job was a lot easier: to create the Power-point presentation of blank and black slides. 


A full stop represents a second of sound/light, a space represents a second of silence/darkness, a dash represents two-seconds of sound/light and a forward slash represents two-seconds of darkness. This is the Morse Code conversation that the speaker and projector will be having:

speaker: .... .. 

projector: .... . .-.. .-.. --- 

speaker: .. .----. -- /  ... .- .-. .- .... --..-- /  .-- .... .- - .----. ... /  -.-- --- ..- .-. /  -. .- -- . ..--..
