The reactable,
is a multi-user electronic music instrument with a
tabletop tangible user interface. Several simultaneous performers share
complete control over the instrument by moving physical objects on a
luminous table surface. By moving and relating these objects,
representing components of a classic modular synthesizer, users can
create complex and dynamic sonic topologies, with generators, filters
and modulators, in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable
flow-controlled programming language.
This instrument is being
developed by a team of digital luthiers (Sergi Jordà, Martin
Kaltenbrunner, Günter Geiger and Marcos Alonso), at the Music
Technology Group within the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona,
Spain.
