Lead & Schemas

Lead & Schemas from Dirty Electronics on Vimeo.

"Dirty Electronics at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), London, February 2011; and preparation for the event at One Thoresby Street, Nottingham, and P W Circuits, Leicester. Music Dirty Electronics. Video Emma Knight and Andy Hill.

The composer and instrument maker John Richards takes up temporary residence in the gallery with Solder and Score, a unique participation opportunity for visitors to the ICA. Over the course of five days, workshop attendees will build a large patchwork quilt-like instrument and co-write a musical score that will culminate in a group performance. Referring to his process as Dirty Electronics, Richards conjures electronic phenomena at odds to those found in today’s mass produced digital culture and utilises characteristics such as designer trash, hand-made, ready-made, hacked, bent, fedback and kitsch in the process.

For Live Weekends: Notation and Interpretation, the workshops will immerse attendees in the interplay between process and performance beginning on the workbench, co-devising the modules that will form the ‘instrument’‚ and then extending onto the ‘stage’."

POCOPOCO Musical Interface

POCOPOCO Performance at Siggraph 2011, Vancouver

YouTube Uploaded by IDEEALab on Aug 9, 2011


Uploaded by IDEEALab on Aug 9, 2011

"Pocopoco is a new musical interface that users can control by pushing, holding and turning - very intuitive and tactile actions. To create Pocopoco we developed original solenoid units with built-in sensors and assembled 16 of them in a box-shaped container to serve as a universal input/output device.

Through the use of their up and down movement we have created a new form of musical expression. The resulting device is a versatile interface whose physical movement is appealing to both performers and audiences and which also has the potential to be used in a wide range of other applications including games and telecommunications.

Users can play music with PocoPoco very easily just by "pushing", "holding " and "turning" its cylinders . When a user "Pushes" on top of a cylinder, a sequencer switch is flipped to the "on" position causing the cylinder to rise and a sound to play at regular intervals. "Holding" a raised cylinder prolongs the note being played like the sustain pedal of a piano. "Turning" a cylinder affects the instrument's tone in various ways (e.g. volume control, filters, pitch bend) .

PocoPoco is very easy to play even for children and beginners with no musical experience, but at the same time it is also a sophisticated device that can be used to create compelling performances."
