The end result is a simple hyperinstrument built from LEDs placed inside colored bottle caps with straps and battery packs that can be used to control real-time granular synthesis of a sampled\u00a0snippet of my own voice.<\/p>\n<p>I remember designing a vocabulary of approximately a dozen different gestures, some of which rely on a relative position of both hands, and others being hand-specific, something I found being particularly exciting. In addition, raw x and y position data was used to change timbre, as well as spatialize the ensuing audio data across quad audio output. The real-time video feed from the embedded webcam was used both for computer vision and as a processed texture\u00a0projected onto a virtual cube whose abstract\u00a0visuals served more as a visual instrument feedback to the performer, than\u00a0an artistic visualization.<\/p>\n<p>While in and of itself a mere milestone,<em> Pandora <\/em>in some ways marks\u00a0a turning point\u00a0in my career, where I finally\u00a0began acknowledging and openly pursuing\u00a0my passion for transdisciplinary creativity, something that has since played a pivotal role in\u00a0clarifying and defining my professional identity and aspirations.<\/p>\n<p>Performances:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>DISIS <em>Digital Id 070429<\/em> happening in Blacksburg, Virginia, April 2007.
