Interrupted Fountains is a modular sound installation that explores the spatial and temporal behavior of sound through passive systems. Developed in collaboration with artist and technologist Juan Flores, each sculpture contains a Daisy Seed microcontroller running custom audio processing code written in Max/MSP gen~.

The system is activated by a single microphone input, which collects ambient sound and circulates it through a daisy-chained network of modules. These signals are not replayed in real time. Instead, they reappear intermittently, as altered echoes—mechanically delayed and spatially dispersed.

By disrupting the immediacy of feedback, the instruments create a sense of distance and discontinuity. The echoes it produces are not reflections, but interruptions, deferred sonic memories that surface unpredictably. The piece questions how machines listen, how they remember, and what is lost or transformed in the process.
