Aeolia cello garment shown at TEI 2010

Posted by Sarah Kettley on February 2, 2010 at 12:13pm

Last week we presented our cello garment to the Tangible & Embedded crowd at MIT's Media Lab. The garment incorporates knitted stretch sensing being developd by Martha Glazzard to feed gestural data back into the performance in real time. The shirt was fitted for Peter Gregson, who does a lot of work with digital music, especially for New Media Scotland's 10th anniversary event last year, and has recently evolved from a proof of concept to a more exciting stage, where we can see the potential for integrated performance and production of new music. Yann Seznec was responsible for the sound design, and also created this video of the work in rehearsal.

Martha recently embarked on her MA at Nottingham Trent University, exploring further the potential functionality and technical issues inherent in knitted structures for wearable circuits (sample above), and we hope to continue the work through movement and choreography.More information on the project can be found on my website website.
