Musical Prosthetics

Musical prosthetics are a series of new musical instruments that attach to the human body in exoskeletal formations, wired with sensors that create sounds triggered by body movement. 

Musical prosthetics  are a new form of interactive media and tool for enhancing non-verbal communication.

Each wearable sculpture explores a different human emotion. As performers interact with each other and assume various body postures, their music creates a window into the non-verbal world.

Each prosthetic is connected to a sensor that sends information to a Teensy microcontroller. From the Teensy, the information goes through Max MSP where it is then translated from numbers and data into real-time music and sound.
