Interface based on a sensor array to “Hall effect”. This principle is used to detect the position of the pieces, but also the distance to the approach to control analog effects. The the FONOF is designed as a shield (extension) for the Arduino. This expansion includes 48 sensors to “Hall Effect” (magnetic) that detect the presence and distance of magnetic pieces. The sensed values ​​are transmitted via a USB cable to an application that configures the the FONOF and format data for transmission to other software music composition. Each of the squares of the board can be configured in two modes. The first, “all or nothing”, is used to trigger and stop the tracks. The second, “proportional” to control analog effects.

The second prototype of the FONOF, the Magnetic controller

Paris, société de curiosités octobre 2009

Installation of controlers and their scores.

The computer screen is removed. Remain to interpret the music sound the partitions and a stopwatch.

This project, recreate the collaborations with the composer, the performer, and the developer (electronics / digital instrument maker).

It leaves the laptop screens and, investigates again, the field of performing electronic music, using interfaces to control the computer.

The scores become the only way in which the musical interpretation can take place because the computer screen is not present and cannot guide or influence the musicians interpreting the composition. Some new digital interfaces are beeing developed for the project.
