einhändig, zweistimmig

a gesturally controlled music synthesis program

The project einhändig, zweistimmig is a gesturally controlled music synthesis program which enables the user to play two voices simultaneously with one hand. But not only the pitch of the voices is changing with the position of the hand in the air, it is also the rythm and diverse effects which are influenced by the hand and finger movement which gets tracked by the leap motion controller. The project is about creating a tool which makes the immersion of your body into the instrument possible.

attempts of visualisation

As we wished to provide not only an auditiv, immersive experience of the synthesiser to the user we had the goal to create a visualisation in a three dimensional space to suggest to the user an experience of fusion with the musical instrument at hand. We wished to create a playful, new experience for the user with the new instrument. First attempt was simply to represent the moving hand in the 3d space.
