Christophe Havel writes —
“The air percussion is a DMI using the flocks of birds (FOB) as sensors put at the tip of drum sticks, receiving electromagnetic waves produced by a cubic emitter, and sending position and orientation information back to a computer. The particularity of this system is that the percussionist strikes in the air, with no physical support, though virtual objects that are placed in the space around him, relying with his traditional percussionist knowledge.”
