Tangible Audio Sequencer (2008)

A simple little tangible interface audio sequencer I made using a webcam and Processing.

Book Strip (2006)

The Book Strip is a circuit bent childrens toy. It is a sound generating module from a book, with the resistance controlled sample playback speed altered. The resistance can be changed by a factor of 10, or 100, to pitch bend the sound, or produce glitch patterns of a whole new type.

Star Hate (2006)

The Star Hate is a non-permenantly bent children's keyboard. This one was especially nice due to its built in sequencer. When certain pins were grounded on the microcontroller, the normal piano sample would be replaced by animal noises. This, combined with low voltage bends and general glitchiness forms the majority of the Star Hate's bends.
