A Large-Scale Networked Robotic Musical Instrument Installation

Eric Singer, Jeff Feddersen, and Bil Bowen

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract:

This paper describes an installation created by LEMUR(League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots) in January, 2005.The installation included over 30 robotic musical instrumentsand a multi-projector real-time video projection and wascontrollable and programmable over a MIDI network. Theinstallation was also controllable remotely via the Internet andcould be heard and viewed via room mics and a robotic webcam connected to a streaming server.
