Interactive sound touch instrument…

Programation Patch
The project is a sound and visual instrument which work with a sensitive surface. This tactile interface allow users to play with 2 hands by the pressure, the friction and the contact on the table, the conductive material.
Then the sound is modify and amplify by the computer which is also produce real time visuals interactions.
The goal of this project is to develop and research a new way to think about electronic sensitive music instrument. Because of his tangible aspect, making music and produce sound become very tangible and subtile. This artistic aproach is a reflexion about the sensibility of a interactive instrument which respond as precise as human perceive his surface. It is so sensible, so then it`s create a kind of intimate relationship with the sound, the instrument and his potential, as often greats musiciens have with their old or favorite instruments.
Electronic circuit
Many people can play in the same time and they can also use the body as a conductive surface between each participants. So the body become an alive instrument, and create different kind of sound by touching differents parts of participants skins.
This device can also be use as a instrument for visuals and real video mixing like scratching videos loops, by using the FFT analysis and associate the datas to any kind of visuals programing patchs. So it can be use as a live perfomance instrument and real time visual controler.
