Twitterm3, a virtual music gate
Posted June 3rd 2006 under Cybersonica
Continuing coverage of Cybersonica 06 exhibition.
m3 Virtual Music Gate by Michael Markert is a virtual music gate, that sensors body movements in a space between two illuminated columns and processes the data in realtime to harmonic and rhythmic music. The art arises with the interaction of its users and their different and unique behavior in the gate: without any haptic interface or visual output, users are forced to use their hearing senses and move their body.
The gate is operated by a matrix of distance sensors which triggers and alters different sounds. A Cocoa-based software processes the realtime MIDI-Events (harmonize & quantize) and routes the signals to a complex output setup of software synths and beat generators.
