A new music machine for recognizing imaginary motions

Kanji Kuwahara

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

This work is a kind of solenoid music machine, but its size is large and it is deployed in the entire space of the room. In addition, one of its features the visual effect of LEDs. The LEDs are connected in parallel with the solenoids and blink at the same time as the solenoids emit a striking sound. As for the composition in time, it is very simple. It is just a series of sound and light events that follow the physical and spatial configuration of the lumber. This gives us the feeling that something is moving, that there is an imaginary moving object.
