InstrumentA


Collaborative InstrumentA (in progress) from Matt West on Vimeo.

Continuing from my previous collaborative instrument I am attempting to design a new instrument that requires two people to be played: one person to control the pitch and the other to control the rhythm.

Rather than attempting to engineer together mechanisms and parts of existing instruments, such as a keyboard, I'm using simple electronics to divide the two basic functions mentioned above. Then I'll design the casing, intending to extend the division of the two functions and experiment with how both musicians communicate with one another.
