The weather's really in your face in New Orleans.

This instrument, the weather warlock, is an audio mirror of the sunrise and sunset,

Right now, we're hearing the sun just start to activate the UV sensors on the outdoor sensor unit.

That puttering sound is the sound of that sensor just starting to get enough light to sonically activate it.

It's using the weather to create music.

There's no microphones; there's no, it's not the sound of rain.

There are two components: an inside set of brains, which is the synthesizer part, and an outdoor set of sensors.
这个装置主要有两个组成部分，一个是内部的一套“大脑”，也就是合成器的部分，还有就是室外的传感器。
There is a temperature sensor, which is effecting the speed of the drone, this drone.

There is a set of wind speed controlled sensors,

the faster the wind blows, the faster they activate these two notes.

There is a moisture sensor, or rain, or humidity or snow.

And the last one would be the sky sensor, which is a sensor at the top, a little periscope that's aiming at the sky.
最后一个是天空传感器，这个传感器在最上面，它也是一个瞄准天空的小潜望镜。
So you can play it like an instrument, too, you can just let it do it's thing,
这个装置也能像乐器一样演奏，你可以让它自己发出声音，
but I can also, you know, change the timbre of the drone.

Sunrise was at 5:15 this morning, and sunset happening now, as you can hear, according to our UV sensors.

这个发明并没有让我看到不一样的日落。
You can just hear it now.
