Embroidered Musical Instruments, 2000
These instruments were designed to be played as part
of Tod Machover's Toy Symphony, (MIT Media Lab). Designed
to allow a player to control music software played on a PC by squeezing
and touching, each instrument contains eight unique embroidered
sensors, which use a capacitive sensing method to measure pressure
or how hard the user touches the sensor. Each instrument is designed
to be played with different types of digitally generated music.
Pattern, texture and shape are varied. Music by Gili Wienberg.
Media: Machine embroidered conductive yarns and rayon on various
fabrics, and sensing electronics. For use with PC and music software.
Eight embroidered sensors per instrument. Various sizes, 6"-14".
