Media Interface Technology
This is a musical sensor interface using the CREATE USB microcontroller: a hybrid network of tangled audio technology, based around turntable decks, guitar strings and optical sound designs.This project wanted to merge several of the most crucial audio technology inventions from the previous century into a hybrid object. The inspiring technologies include the phonograph, optical sound on film, the amplified guitar, and the computer. Each represents a different approach to generating, transmitting and/or encoding vibrations, from the spatial through the electrical and optical to digital bits, and each with its own expressive leverages and characteristic morphologies. This project embodies a continuum of audio technology interaction from the most physical hands-on of the vibrating string, to the abstracted turntable control of pre-recorded data, to non-physical control data in optical and electronic form, and finally to the completely abstracted and malleable digital domain.
