Extended Play Audio l 2022

① Description Extended Play is a composition for amplified ceramic plates and interactive electronics

② Concept I constructed the instrument by hooking sound exciters to ceramic plates, turning them into speakers. With contact microphones and a little touch, feedback loops of sound began to emerge. The design lets me play different sounds based on where the mic is placed, and each plate has its own sound personality.

③ Technology With interactive electronics crafted in the Max/Msp environment, I can trigger different samples. These samples respond to where and how the plates are touched, making the plates and the instrument itself a controller.

④ Performance The piece manifests itself through physical touch, emphasizing the interruption and release of sounds on the instrument. This creates an immersive and visceral experience, transforming the way listeners perceive and interact with music.

⑤ Reflection The project's integration of interactive electronics with unconventional musical elements highlights the potential for creating tools for musical expression. By leveraging technology, the composition explores new auditory landscapes by harnessing frequency excitation and tactile interaction with the instrument.
