Digital Instruments
OBJECTIVE
The focus of this project was to challenge conventional definitions of instruments and explore musical computer-human interactions. Drawing inspiration from innovative creations like mi-miu gloves, I created digital instruments that integrate the human body into the process of sound creation.
Using custom hardware, pure data, and python, I reimagined appearances of instruments such as an organ and pianos by juxtaposing traditional tones with a modern and scientifically inspired design.

KEY DELIVERABLES
- Four instruments with different types of sensors.
① Capacit
② Nobby
Arduino breakout board + Buttons + Potentiometers
③ Key-Board
Computer keys remapping with Pure Data and Python
④ Leap Motion Harp
Electronic harp that uses leap motion to track user’s hand passion and motion (e.g. clapping). Sound is produced if user’s hand crosses the threshold of the z in the xyz plane
