Physical heart in a virtual body
In this video we present a special guitar that combines physical acoustic properties with virtual capabilities. A wooden resonator - a unique, replaceable piece of wood that gives the guitar a unique acoustic sound, will embody the acoustical values. The acoustic signal created by this wooden heart will be digitally processed in a virtual sound box in order to create flexible sound design. The project shows that traditional values can be embedded into a digital object. Keywords Guitar, Resonator, Craft, Virtual, Sensors, Acoustic, Digital Instrument, Music. ACM Classification Keywords H.5.5 Sound and Music Computing: Signal analysis, synthesis, and processing; Systems.
