Abstract:

FlexSynth is an interpretation of The Sponge, a DMI embedded with sensors to detect squeeze, flexion and torsion along with buttons to form an interface using which musical sounds are generated and the sound is sculpted. The key idea of the sponge is to harness the properties of a retractable, flexible object that gives the performer wide range of multi- parametric controls with high resolution in a maximized gesture space, considering its high manoeuvrability.
