Sarah & Lara Grant's Felt Based Modular Synth Design & Sound Processing



FSP005 Prototype from lara grant on Vimeo.


"What you are seeing is a prototype of FSP005, this is one module that will be part of a collection, making up a wall mounted soft musical interface. The interface is made out of merino wool felt, yarn, elastic and conductive thread, and snaps. The sound is being created by a modified gated oscillator circuit, AKA the siqque-est sounding circuit known to FSP.

"A second recording of this circuit, which is def my favorite so far. Now you can hear the lowest frequencies and full texture of the sound being produced.

"testing cords made with higher resistance and greater range."

More details here (see the rest of their site for more). Also see this excellent write-up on Rhizome.

"For those who may want to learn soft circuitry in person, the Grants will be giving a workshop during the upcoming In/Out Fest happening on September 17th and 18th at the Tank in New York City [previous post]. The subject of their workshop is textiles and electronics, and they will be teaching various techniques of soft circuitry while instructing participants on how to connect the textile to a circuit."

Lara has a background in fashion and textile design and is currently studying at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program. Sarah has a background in visual arts, programming and sound design. She is also an alumni of NYU ITP."

"Lara Grant, part of the circuit bending orchestra for Diana Eng's Fairytale Fashion Show held at Eyebeam NYC. Through various hacks and circuit bending techniques, Lara's sewing machine trigger signals that is then fed onto laptops running MAX/MSP to produce the final soundtrack for the runway. Other team members of the orchestra are Peter Kirn and Matt Ganucheau.

2010-02-24
7pm - 9pm
Eyebeam

Diana Eng presented the Fairytale Fashion Collection in a technology fashion show on Wed., February 24, 7PM, at Eyebeam. Models hit the runway while an orchestra of circuit bending DJs create music from hacked video game consoles.

The Fairytale Fashion Collection uses technology to create magical clothing in real life. Electronics, mechanical engineering, and mathematics are used to create clothing with blooming flowers, changing colors and transforming shapes. Research and development for the Fairytale Fashion collection are shared online at FairytaleFashion.org as an educational tool that teaches about science, math, and technology through fashion. Fairytale Fashion was created with the support of Eyebeam Art and Technology Center, the leading not-for-profit art and technology center in the United States.

Diana Eng is a fashion designer who specializes in technology, math, and science. Her designs range from inflatable clothing to fashions inspired by mechanical engineering. She is a designer from Bravos Emmy nominated TV show, Project Runway season 2 and author of Fashion Geek: Clothes, Accessories, Tech. Diana is cofounder of NYC Resistor hacker group. Diana is currently a resident artist at Eyebeam.

In/Out 2011: Digital Performance Festival

"In/Out Fest is an annual festival that features leading performers, developers, artists, and tinkerers of the digital design community. With the hope of bridging the gap between the forum based world and the stage, the festival seeks to bring digitally driven performances into the limelight with two full days of workshops and performances.

We invite programmers, visualists, hardware hackers, electronics gurus, musicians, novices, and the curious to take part in the events of In/Out. From inspiring performances and workshops to encourage others to join in the fray, this is not only the time for those interested in the constantly changing field of digital media to get involved, but for current members of the community to step up their game as well.

Visit In/Out's website at: http://inoutfest.org/
Videos of past years performances can be found at: http://vimeo.com/groups/inoutfest

This years In/Out Fest will take place in late September/early October. Dates and venue will be announced shortly. Check www.inoutfest.org for up to date details and information.

Performers
In/Out is searching for musicians, visualists, dancers, and performers who have integrated digital technologies into their work. From building custom controllers or software to the users of new technology, we want it! Submit a brief description of your performance along with a sample of your work.

All written materials must be in PDF format. Also, if available, please include hyperlinks to all multi-media materials (ie: videos of performances, demos, audio samples, etc...)

Workshops + Lectures
Help motivate the vanguard by leading a workshop in new media for audio/video performance. Past workshops have included: working in Jitter and Reaktor, building soft circuits, code driven music composition with Processing, lecture on glitch and it's use in art, how to run an open source business, and more. In/Out is especially interested in hands on, kit based, and introductory workshops. Please submit a brief description of what you would like to teach or share, along with any work you have done, are doing, or will do in the field.
