Senior Research: Eric Baum

Eric Baum recently completed his senior research project to wrap up his DIGA Sound major. He decided to design and build a double-neck electric and bass guitar that he then enhanced with a variety of sensors. He used the Teabox from Electrotap to manage his sensor connections and built a Max/MSP patch to allow him to loop, filter and process the output from his guitar. The results can be seen and heard in the following video:
