Yop! Another quick one from the RCA exhibition.
The Octopulse is a cute “alien bagpipe” that allows you to control analogue sound synthesis through unconventional means. The ‘tonetacles’ of the Octopulse react to movement and light, transferring movements into information for an analogue synthesiser to convert into cacophonous noises.
The soundscape alters perceptions of what music could be and allows the electronic sounds of a synthesiser to be accessed by anyone.
