Abstract  This report aims to describe Sound Forest by The Sea (SFBS), a project done for the course DT2300 Sound in Interaction given at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Using an available physical prototype of a Sound Forest string at KTH campus, Python, and Max/MSP, an interactive soundscape was created. Sound and distance data from interacting with the string was retrieved through sensors and used to control various parameters for the soundscape generation. Following L¨owgren’s concepts for interaction esthetics, focus was put on pliability to create a satisfying and malleable interaction. The resulting sonic interaction consists of a beach-inspired soundscape where the user can play with the waves and scare off visiting birds.
