Description: This is me, playing the piece "More Money Than You Know What to Do With," with my instrument, "Tuppence a Board." I spin some coins, a microphone and some piezo sensors go into Max/MSP, fun is had. Wait for the movie quotes! This was a project for the MA course at the Sonic Arts Research Centre, Queen's University Belfast.
“Sure! Underneath the board I have a microphone, 3 piezoelectric sensors, and a button. These feed into an Arduino microcontroller, which feeds into the computer. The computer is running Max/MSP - I wrote a program that would manipulate the sound and data. Some parts I am filtering the sound, sometimes if the coins hit hard enough they trigger a sound, etc. You can read more details here: http://www.adamscottneal.com?tuppenceaboard.pdf. Thanks for watching!”
