FABRIC MACHINE

Installation and performative Instrument:

Two fabric loops, driven by a motor, create a division in space. Light sensors measure
the opacity of the textile;
there are thousands of different fabric samples out there, old ones , with ancient weaving
tecniques, different embroidery, prints, etc.
During the performance I play different fabric tracks, based on a selection of varying fabrics.

Algorithms/ electro acoustic sound generation:

Each different fabric sample is able to deliver a highly individual sound source.
The pure analogue translation from a electric signal( generated by the algorithm of the weaving tecnique)
gives you an incredible range of different sound qualities, you have to learn to play this instrument,
like learning how to play a guitar.The way all pieces are sewed together for a fabric sound track is
responsible for beats, breaks and rhythms.

Interface:

Sowing interfaces out of different pieces of clothes like men shirt, underwear and many more,
makes your individual clothing hearable.
Without any special effects, the pure fabric is used as sound source."
