Interactive Performance Interface

Interactive Performance Interface

Slide Mounted Trombone Interface
Designed by Monique Buzzarté and Holland Hopson, built by Grab Rare Arts.

The inital version of this interface was developed by Monique and Holland during Monique’s 2002 Artist in Residence at Harvestworks. The current version of the interface – 5th generation, August 2006 – has five pressure sensors, six switches, two sliders, and two accelerometers. Data collected by the interface is sent to a BASIC Stamp II; data from the BASIC Stamp II is sent via MIDI to Max/MSP.
