Wubbles: A Collaborative Ephemeral Musical Instrument

Florent Berthaut, and Jarrod Knibbe

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

This paper presents a collaborative digital musical instrument that uses the ephemeral and physical properties of soap bubbles to explore the complexity layers and oscillating parameters of electronic (bass) music. This instrument, called Wubbles, aims at encouraging both individual and collaborative musical manipulations.
