Oroboro by Björn Hartmann and Jennifer Carlile is a novel collaborative controller which focuses on musical performance as social experience by exploring synchronized actions of two musicians operating a single instrument. Each performer uses two paddle mechanisms - one for hand orientation sensing and one for servo-motor actuated feedback.
Two musicians face each other and put their hands on the paddles. Hand Movement and finger pressure is recorded through the right paddle and sent to Pure Data for synthesis and controlling samples. The left hand paddle is passive, but mirrors the other musicians right hand through motor control, so each musician can feel what the other is doing. Read this pdf for more detailed information.
