The hardest button to button


Today we had a session of getting into a imporvisational mindset, and students we have developed a ability to overthink and be in control of our presentations to minute detail. the activitys we partook in was a psycological and physical experience where you are focusing on responding to an others actions, as a suporting peice or as a trigger. he most subtle of noises make good sound when you listen.
(add some smores here)


The final stages of my instrument I got some switches for triggering distortions found on the circuit board. 6 small coloured push instance buttons which are for primay sound creation, and
Two big red switches will allow me to have some sustain, as a suporting noise whilst i can focus on the wind part.

I'm immencely glad to have decided to build a modular system as there have been a few overhauls of the design, and it's grown from a series of sketchs in my book. to something that has a tangible existance.


Having the instrument remaining as a upgradable system brings up an interesting train of thoought, I could replace the reed with a replacement, the tube it blows down, a new keyboard a new body. but I like the result as it is now, its not about creating the most noise or the prefectly tuned scale. I vauguely rember back to something said earlier in the year that each creators personality is evident in their own creation.
does my instrument have my personality? an undistorted view of myself undisrupted by self sanitised expressions and the tug of war between equality in a exchange? could I go up to a stranger and go that is me a dull brown object that makes and ocasional noise?
