bow controller project
a webcam registering speed and one angle to control MIDI instruments. Still at a prototype stage, and very limited compared to real-world bowed strings, it might be an attempt to give the musician a little bit more options for expression.

EDIT: it looks more like a laser from a mouse than a webcam. I think the laser is better for capturing fine nuances than a camera.

Quote from the author:
"The main motivation was to create an instrument which could naturally capture the partial covering of tone holes in whistles and other instruments, and make use of this musically."
