Flex sensors are fab: these cheap strips send varying voltages when you bend them, seen in use in projects like Eric Singer’s sonic banana (basically, a bendable tube for triggering sounds). The trick is turning that flex data into something useful.


Hypersense Complex is a three-person collaborative working on new musical interfaces, and they’ve been nice enough to post details of the hardware and software they’re using. Hardware — all cheap, off-the-shelf stuff you can play with, too. Software — they’re doing fancy Python script interpretation to turn gestures into music in the free sound app SuperCollider. Check out details, sounds, and gallery. Not much aesthetics to their flex sensor glove — any fashion designers out there? But the exploration of musical gloves continues.

    Everything is changing when it comes to producing music; it's going to be completely virtual soon – gotta love the coming age of cyberpunk!

  5. This is great stuff. Music is changing each and everyday!
