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.
