While deciding how to move forward with my noisemaker
I remembered that when only one side
of the chain was fastened to the frame of
my initial noisemaker it made a really great sound.
I took this idea decided to
make a large frame that I could dangle chains down from. It had to be
big so
that I could make constant sound the further the objects can move down the chain
the longer the sound can be held for.

In terms of what to put on the chains, I wanted to find a material that wouldn't be as loud as the previous things I had used.
I ended up finding some wire, this worked well because its so thin
I ended up finding some wire, this worked well because its so thin
the sound is soft but because its made of metal it still creates a noise loud enough for a performance
and it has that 'metallic' aspect to it that I thought worked well in the last experiment.
when I put lots of these little wire circles together I find that it makes a really beautiful clinking sound,
its soft but when you have so many it is amplified. I want this sound to be the new focus of my
noise maker. Although I might introduce some of the elements from the previous design
to give the sound more depth (the tin lid, the metal loops etc..)
Inspiration for new noise maker - wire loops on chain.
