Hi list,
I just found this nice link at the Debian Weekly News:
"Debian as musical Instrument. James Patten and Ben Recht developed a
composition and performance instrument for electronic music which tracks
the positions of objects on a tabletop surface and converts their motion
into music. One can pull sounds from a giant set of samples, cut between
drum loops to create new beats, and apply digital processing all at the
same time on the same table. Knoppix is used as operating system."
Homepage is at http://web.media.mit.edu/~jpatten/audiopad/ which also
has a very nice 20MB Quicktime .mov file explaining how it is controlled
and how it works (mplayer can play this .mov without problems once you
have the codecs installed).
"Sweet!" :-)
Greetings,
Frank

The process (at first glance, I admit) looks pretty doable, the position
cursor things are all analogue electronics according to the video, with a
computer interpreting the resonating frequencies of the coils to figure out
the positions (ok, I don't know how to do that :)) then driving the graphics.
The most expensive thing is probably the video projector.
The app they've come up with to show it off is amazing though. I think there
will be a commercial product very soon!

Wondering around the MIT site for a bit, I saw that the position
detecting table is a development platform and that the audiopad software
is just (just?) one of several uses of the technology.

Yes ... seems a powerfull instrument i really like it .... but ... when i see
this kind of instruments i always think .... Mozart can do better music with
this instument than the guys who plays on the video? creativity is not
casuallity ... anyway sounds spectacular :-)
