The Pilgrim

YouTube via TheUmbrellaCo — May 09, 2010 — "As always with Tourister series bent SK's, The Pilgrim features an integrated UMR midi system powered by www.highlyliquid.com. Sensorheads and MaxMsp junkies rejoice! A single connection, and your on your way to interfacing the elusive world of circuit bending with any electronic or physical source imaginable! Self generating algorithms, Abelton Live sequencing, purpose built controllers! Incorporate audience interaction during live performances via sensors, touch contacts, camera tracking, metal floor tiles...the sky is not even the limit, I'm not sure where the limit is.

Also in keeping with Umbrella Company tradition, the Pilgrim has a classic nut and bolt bend patchbay to retain maximum flexibility in connections. Use anything as a switch! Not to mention the 6 on-board user assignable controls. The nut and bolt design is great for breaking out body contacts over long cable runs for remote use with versatile, inexpensive alligator clip leads.

And of course the crowd pleasing, magical, photo cell optical control of screaming distortions and envelope modulations is in attendance. Fine tunable and infinitely fun, there is nothing like the satisfaction of a classic theremin style control interface. Wave those hands proudly in the air as you morph and shift landscapes of eccentric beauty!"
