Rec/Play / 2008

“REC/PLAY turns all the object around us into instruments”

Rec/Play is a project of students involved in media art. Each student creates an instrument that served as an interface to a synthesizer. I have created a giant 8 meter long thick elastic string on which 6 accelerator sensors are mounted. Vibrations of the string in any direction are measured and coupled to a sound generator. When the string vibrates or is slowly pulled in any direction sound effects are generated. The string is very suitable to play with two people and the connection with an analogue string is maintained in visual as well as audible way.

A project in collaboration with Casper Schipper.
