Production

The instrument (pictured below) was constructed from an existing wooden flute/recorder. Embedded into this instrument are photosensors and a disassembled microphone sensor. Readings from these sensors are then sent to an Arduino microprocessor. Code developed through the Processing environment uses these readings to control and perform an incoming video signal from a web camera.
