June 2008. The\u00a0Marvelo Bikes<\/a>\u00a0are second hand bicycles carrying a stereo sound system, Hive Box and GPS receiver.\u00a0The design<\/a>\u00a0to securely carry this kit on moving bikes is as essential as the reliably functioning technology.<\/p>\n

The Hive Box<\/a>\u00a0is a small computer beating at the heart of the Marvelo Project. Enabled through a collaboration with\u00a0Alexei Blinov<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Wolfgang Hauptfleisch<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0Hive Networks<\/a>, it contains the music as sixty seven mp3’s made by the\u00a0Marvelo Team,<\/a>\u00a0each piece being linked to a specific location in Folkestone via GPS. Cycling through that zone will then trigger that piece to play.<\/p>\n

Negotiating\u00a0audio quality<\/a>\u00a0against accurate triggering and cross fades against hard drive power as well as the requirement to reliably run the entire kit from a battery for eight hours daily for three months is challenging work. Fortunately\u00a0Gavin Gav<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Lisa Hall<\/a>\u00a0are on hand in Folkestone fixing and maintaining the work on the road.<\/p>\n

\"Gear<\/p>\n

Peter Edwards’<\/a>\u00a0innovative Marvelo mapping tool was also an essential ingredient to this success, enabling quadrants to be drawn on digital maps producing GPS grid references for the Team to link their mp3’s to chosen points in the town.<\/p>\n

The installation of the\u00a0Marvelo audio<\/a>\u00a0system, researched and designed by Kaffe, was enabled through a collaboration with\u00a0David Cranmer<\/a>\u00a0who designed sturdy steel cross pieces to house the speakers.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Alexei and Wolf, David and Pete a successful MkI Marvelo system was built.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
