When I fly into LaGuardia, as I did this afternoon, I try to sit by a right-side window to get this view. And then I take the video and apply optical flow techniques and send the trail to the drone from day 13.

instrument-a-day 17: jeltones for the guthman musical instrument competition
I took two JelTones to the Guthman Musical Instrument Competition. I didn’t make the instruments today, but I did make and carve a lot of jello.
instrument-a-day 16: hotel stuff
(video link)
Stuff found in a boring hotel room: water glasses, soap dish, shampoo bottles, steam iron. Super low quality video for super slow hotel internet.

I designed the 8-bit violin during last year’s instrument-a-day. I ended up donating violin 0x01 to Flux Factory’s fundraising auction. I made this one, pretty much identical to the first, for and with the help of violinist Patti Kilroy, who tried it out for this video. This is the first time she’s played the finished violin!

Because I did accordion yesterday.
instrument-a-day 13: smoky drone
(video link)
A simple but rich-sounding PD patch for an installation proposal. Off-camera, I’m turning knobs on a MIDI keyboard to control the drones.
instrument-a-day 12: qwerty rattle
(video link)
Part of an old PC keyboard. It makes a nice rattling sound.
instrument-a-day 11: 8 bit violin 0x02
Violinist Patti Kilroy helped me build an 8-bit violin. No video today, but after the glue has had a few days to dry, she’ll try it out.
instrument-a-day 10: frog
A 3d-printed version of those carved wooden croaking frogs.
