T-Stick

Tue, 06/08/2010 - 01:01 — Jon

The T-Stick was developed and built in the IDMIL by Joseph Malloch, in collaboration with composer D. Andrew Stewart and performers Fernando Rocha and Xenia Pestova. The physical input device can sense where and how much of its surface is touched by the performer, as well as tilting, shaking, squeezing and twisting gestures. Unlike most digital musical instruments, the T-Sticks exist as a family, with soprano, alto, tenor, and bass members.

Blue Air

Tue, 06/08/2010 - 00:57 — Jon

Blue Air is an infrared MIDI controller that measures distance. Continuous controller information is produced by movement an object or a performer’s hand vertically above the infrared eye located on the top panel of Blue Air. MIDI data produced by Blue Air are fast and tightly packed together. The typical time between blocks of MIDI datum is 5 milliseconds. The tremendous volume of data being sent is often best managed by MIDI manipulation software such as MAX by Cycling ’74.

Voicer

Tue, 06/08/2010 - 00:54 — Jon

The Voicer is a singing voice synthesizer instrument, real-time controlled with a digitizing graphic tablet (the kind of tablet used for writing recognition by computers) and a joystick. Pitch and articulation of vowel are driven in a very expressive way giving musical possibilities never reach before with voice synthesizer.

The Walking Machine

Tue, 06/08/2010 - 00:53 — Jon

The Walking Machine is a realtime controlled generative rhythm section, which has been developed for live performances in a free jazz context. The instrument provides a stable rhythmic platform as well as being dynamic enough in order to allow its player to interact with other musicians in a direct musical way. A Game pad is used as the controller, with realtime access to high-level parameters that controls probability distribution of intervals and durations, the performer controls the overall behaviour of the instrument.

Many Hands

Tue, 06/08/2010 - 00:50 — Jon

“Many Hands” is a series of software interfaces that allow a pianist to shape the unfolding of a range of electronic music resources ­ sounds, processes, events and electronic instruments and devices ­ in response to that pianist’s playing. The software interprets data about real-time performance ­ how fast is the playing, how dense are the chords or clusters, how long are melodic phrases, relative rhythmic steadiness, and basic harmonic analysis.

Starfish

Tue, 06/08/2010 - 00:45 — Jon

Starfish is a network of delay lines that tend to expand when sound is present in them. The performer inputs sounds using a microphone, and has some limited global controls over the network. The result is an audio-visual performance.

Pendaphonics

Mon, 06/07/2010 - 21:23 — Jon

Pendaphonics consists of 8 interactive sonic pendulums with sensors measuring the x-y-z coordinates of their motion. Participants manipulate a spatialized soundscape that is directly controlled by the poitions and motions of the pendaphones. Each of the pendaphones can be raised and lowered between 1–3 meters in height, and the trajectory of a swing directly controls the sounds emanating from a loudspeaker mounted above.
