Two music Ph.D. students at the Input Devices and Music Interaction Lab (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.idmil.org\/\">IDMIL<\/a>) at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, have designed a series of prosthetic musical instruments that have to be worn \u2014 and they play as the wearer dances.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Mallock and Ian Hattwick, under the supervision of IDMIL director Marcelo Wanderley, spent three years developing\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/idmil.org\/projects\/prosthetic_instruments\">their project<\/a>, working closely with dancers, musicians, composers, and a choreographer to develop instruments that are more than a separate object \u2014 they are an extension of the human body. Lit from within by LEDs, they include articulated spines, curved visors, and rib cages crafted using 3D printing and laser cutting.<\/p>\n<p>Embedded within each is a variety of sensors, power supplies and wireless data transceivers, allowing the wearer to create music by touch, movement and orientation. The signals are sent through an open-source peer-to-peer software system developed by IDMIL to produce the synthesised music in real time.<\/p>\n<p>The pair is still working on developing the instruments, but the current versions toured Canada and Europe with two dancers and two musicians as part of a production called Les Gestes this year.<\/p>\n<p>(via\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/news.cnet.com\/8301-17938_105-57594879-1\/3d-printed-prosthetics-turned-into-musical-instruments\/\">Crave &#8211; CNET<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>chicagoif: 3D-printed prosthetics turned into musical instruments When you play a musical instrument, you make certain movements; the way you hold your body and hands varies from instrument to instrument.A new type of instrument is utterly dependent on its player\u2019s body.
