DIGITAL CONTROLLERS FOR MUSIC PERFORMANCE AND COMPOSITION:

2008 - Hammer Head Wind Controller

torso of a woodwind player with specific digital signal processing algorithms, thus allowing to relate
the subtleties of electronic sound transformation with easily identifiable human gestures.

2007 - Meta-EVI
A sensor based wind synthesizer that presents innovative hardware and software solutions for the
performance of electronic music. This controller was demoed at the DORKBOT meeting in New
York City on January 3rd, 2007 and at the ATMI 2007 (Association for Technology in Music
Instruction) conference in Salt Lake City, Utah USA, November 15-18, 2007.

2005 - Meta-EWI
A digital controller that greatly extends the performance capabilities of AKAI’s EWI, Electric Wind
Instrument. For a full description see www.electrotap.com/articles.
