Zound: An interactive live electronics

Authors Info & Claims
Published:23 August 2017Publication History

ABSTRACT

An interactive live electronics, completely controlled real-time by the mouth harp's (Jew's harp, Jaw harp) acoustic signal has been created, using Max (™ Cycling '74). The system interacts according to the various timbre's features of the instrument, described by the sonogram of the incoming signal and allows the performer's full involvement with the musical outcome. The interactive live electronics is demonstrative of the different instrument features that can be analyzed and mapped by the system.
