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.

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.

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.

Sonome

Mon, 06/07/2010 - 21:12 — Jon

Sonome is a keyboard whose keys are arranged in a honeycomb lattice with a symmetrical note arrangement, the Melodic Table, where each axis of the grid produces a sequence following a specific musical interval and chords are formed by specific cluster shapes. Enables identical fingering patterns for all 12 keys. Produced in the form of a 5.3 octave 192 note fully polyphonic MIDI controller with the whole range accessible either of both hands.

The Poseidon

Mon, 06/07/2010 - 21:08 — Jon

The Poseidon is an interface designed originally for an installation as a controller for a granular synthesis water soundscape. It collects CV data from sliders and audio from an inbuilt microphone. The CV is converted to MIDI and sent via a standard MIDI cable. The Audio is sent as audio via an audio cable that is connected to the MIDI cable. The MIDI and audio is processed by a computer running a granular synthesis program written in jMusic that generates the soundscape. The computer itself remains out of sight to the audience.
