future inventors
Leonardo Davinci Science Museeum
An interactive music robot at the Leonardo da Vinci Science Museums in Milano, which is part of the future inventors exhibition. The installation consists of a futuristic kalimba, a relay robot, a pneumatic hihat robot and an automatic tube system. It is controlled by on screenless Ableton device.
TOC ONE
Ars electronica center
TOC ONE for the Ars Electronica Center we built a Music Robot System for Education, Recording & Sound Art. It is a music robot which can be attached to various objects and can be used to make rhythms with everyday objects.
