IMPROVe concert at Mölnlycke Kulturhus
My report and poster from the Short-Term Scientific Mission at INESC Porto last year is now published on the Sonic Interaction Design webpage.
The photo is from a performance where the gamepad instrument i developed during the Short Term Scientific Mission was used.
Spent this week walking around in a cold and snowy Göteborg with Antoine Petit-Jean from France. Antoine is part of the architecture collective Metipolis. Together with my collective Dånk! we will make a light and sound installation in public space in Göteborg around christmas next year. It is a continuation of our installation Yellow Splitch. Antoine was impressed by the boat trip we made on the Göta älv river; first the beauty of the ice then the fact that Göteborg still has active industries in the central harbor.
Last week I put a first version online of IMPROVe gamepad – a simple sound loop player to which you interact using a Logitech dual action gamepad.

I am now at INESC Porto where I am doing a two weeks Sonic Interaction Design (SID) Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSM). I am working on new design and development of my IMPROVe sound object player. First goal is to have a nice and stable player for gamepads to distribute here and elsewhere.
You can follow my work with this STSM on improvesoundobjectplayer.wordpress.com.
