3 Min. Performance on interactive Audio-Visual Instrument.

The Hammond B3 Organ is one of my favorite musical instruments. The organ's sound is defined by a set of drawbars (see image). Drawbars are often compared with mixing fundamental colors on a pallet to create the desired color. On the same token, each drawbar controls a fundamental sound, and together they create the overall texture of the organ's sound.

I've always enjoyed playing the B3 'backwards' - instead of first setting the drawbars and then playing the keyboard, i would hold one note down on the keyboard and play with the drawbars, investigating the ingredients of a note rather than the notes themselves. The Hammond Flower instrument lets me do just that. It provides an alternative interface to the B3's drawbars, and then extends the metaphor by adding a dissonance component. In addition, A visualization engine (center part) translates the overall sound texture into a visual architectural element.

In this NEW Interactive version, users may interacting with the instrument during the performance.

An improved version of the tool itself will also be available soon.

Drawings + software drawing tool

Whip is a drawing tool that i've developed and practiced for a while. It was very hard to master, which was also the point.

I have saved and documented over 500 works with this tool. It was also used for creating several hi-res prints.

This page showcases several prints, a real-time movie of me drawing, and an online version of the tool.

Interactive (Shockwave 8.5)

During the past year, I've created a set of reactive Mood sculptures. These sculptures react to the nature of your movement: Repetitive/Spastic, Calm/Edgy etc.
I have experimented with Motion input from Video, Sound and miscellaneous sensors.
'Taming' Mood Sculpture #6 (previously named Wire Sculpture # 6) is not easy, so try to experiment and explore different types of motion. Once achieved, the sculpture will be fully reactive to your motion.
