Performance
2012-2018
A sewing machine becomes a string instrument, processed and amplified. The foot pedal actions a plectrum on a guitar string, pitches are selected with a bottleneck slide, the right hand controls custom effects.
The device was designed as an intuitive approach to natural intervals and just intonation, reproducing the primitive experience of searching for harmonics on a vibrating string. The human player, the mechanical device, and the digital delays system constantly adapt their respective speeds to reach elusive moments of stability.
