The Photolin - Light Sensitive Electronic Musical Instrument in the Shape of a Violin

Thesis Performance - Photolin Published on May 13, 2015 Brendan Byrne

Photoresistor Violin + Max Patch

via Brendan Byrne where you'll find an additional video:

"Photolin is a light sensitive electronic musical instrument based on the form and mechanical functionality of a violin. The most distinctive feature of the instrument is its programmable LED bow. The body of the Photolin contains two photoresistors which detect the light emitting from the bow and translate this information to determine the output volume. On the fretboard, a ribbon sensor detects the player's position to determine the pitch of the note produced.

An accompanying Max patch allows the player to calibrate the instrument's light and ribbon sensors as well as determine the pattern produced by the bow. Current patterns include all, gradient, random, and variable speed pulse modes for the player to experiment with. The sonic output is composed of a mono risset oscillator and heavy delay."

Animodule System patch "Sand Cricket"

Published on May 13, 2015 SGE

"I wanted to put together a house/techno patch. All sounds from the box, recorded live. Effects are a Roland RE-20 and Eventide Space. The kick is a SOB filter in self oscillation, the snare is a square wave from a LMVCO being FM'd by noise, going into the Space pedal which gives it that 'sucking' sound."

The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger | Devil You Know | MOOG SOUND LAB

Published on May 13, 2015 Moog Music Inc

"The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (The GOASTT) re-imagine 'The Devil You Know' from the album Midnight Sun. Upon entering the Moog Sound Lab, the band traded in their guitars and acoustic instruments for an array of analog synthesizers. Sean Lennon commands a Sub 37 while Charlotte Kemp Muhl carries the bass on a Sub Phatty. Both singers' voices are affected with a pair of Moog 500 Series Analog Delays. Tim Kuhl drives the rhythm section via electronic drum triggers controlling 6x Minimoog Voyager RMEs. Robbie Mangano performs with an Electric Blue Minimoog Voyager and Jared Samuel rounds out the track with a second Sub 37."
