The Stick

Interval Research, Expression Group, 1996

Project Description: I was a team member in the development of a complex MIDI musical instrument in the form of a simple broomstick. I developed the sensors and software of the first prototype.� Artist Laurie Anderson in her Moby Dick performance later used the device, in its fourth iteration.

Bob Adams was the lead of a great team including Geoff Smith, Michael Brook and John Eichenseer.

Technical Notes: I built a MAX patch and a connection to the National Instruments MacAdios board that was connected to various pressure sensors on the stick.
