A biodata composition generated in real time.
A heart rate monitor connects to each musician and the serial data feeds into Max/MSP, signaling the chair light interface which acts as the composition for each musician to play.
New Interfaces for Musical Expression, Designing for Digital Fabrication
The Wooden.TouchPads are wooden drums with added melodic and rhythmic functionality with the use of gated sine waves and noise.

The Wooden TouchPad is both an acoustic instrument and an audio controller. Drum pads and trackpads are a great way to access a huge collection of sounds and trigger various media elements with a single tactile interface, but they themselves don’t contribute sound when played. This interface will produce the acoustic sounds of a wooden drum that are heard synchronously with it’s extended melodic functionality.

A bridge between DJing and VJing
Built for N.I.M.E, this interface allows people to record audio and video loops of themselves and DJ the recordings to their liking. Each loop is projected in a grid. Build a composition from one loop to the next

A puppet microphone jam synth.
'Lipstick' is a set of automaton puppet lips that 'talk' based on vocal input and that plays notes based on the buttons you press. Using granular synthesis, vocoder effects, and formant synthesis, 'Lipstick' turns your voice into a synthesizer.
It's a microphone stand meets a bass clarinet meets the muppets.

An ode to familiar, repetitive motions and things.
I am exploring the musical potential of everyday objects and actions for my final instrument in NIME. The goal is to have a series of things that I interact with as one would on any ordinary day. The scene is made beautiful through the 'musical thing-ness' amplified in each part. The central focus of this scene is the production of a 'score' object.
This involves:
3 lamps. applying effects to 3 tracks of audio
A rocking chair. setting the rhythm of the performance. also, contact mics.
A knitting interface. you knit to play this instrument.
