Hack n’ Roll – Musical instruments to surprise, amuse and excite

Category Arduino Members Sound People , , Posted on:

The Hack n’ Roll is a collaboration between KORG, OK GO and the students and tutors from the Platform 21 unit in the Design Products Department at the Royal College of Art in London to design musical instruments that surprise, amuse and excite.

Led by Yuri Suzuki, students were divided into three groups and asked to use their newly acquired skills in physical computing to create a series of objects which generate sound, while creating something visually appealing and entertaining. They were asked to consider their tools as way to help the musician elevate the experience of performance.
