Hardware

Control suit Sonomatrix MIDI box

NOTAM has developed hardware for control of musical parameters in real time. The technology is often made in collaboration with individual artists, and used for installations and the performance of music both in Norway and internationally.


Controller Suit
Øyvind Hammer, Rolf Wallin
On Rolf Wallin's initiative, and in collaboration with him, NOTAM made a MIDI controller suit for real time live performace of electronic music in 1994. The suit was upgraded in 2008 to allow for wireless tranmission of OSC-information rather than MIDI.
Electronic violin bow
Hans Wilmers, Knut Guettler, Håkon Thelin, Victoria Johnson
NOTAM in collaboration with the Norwegian Academy of Music have developed a violin bow equipped with electronic sensors for real time audio control. The first prototype is now ready, and the project was introduced at ICMC in Belfast in August 2008.
Musical Ball
Alexander Refsum Jensenius, Arve Voldsund, Mark Marshall, Rodolphe Koehly, Einar Sneve Martinussen, Åshild Martelle Ravndal Salthe
An ongoing research project where the goal is to create balls that can be used as new interfaces for musical expression. This project is a collaboration between NOTAM, University of Oslo, Oslo School of Architecture and Design and McGill University. Text in Norwegian.
Controller glove
Hans Wilmers, Anders Vinjar
A glove with 4 bend sensors and 4 pressure sensitive sensors.
Renstemmingsautomat
NOTAM, David Code, Grovens Institutt for renstemming
NOTAM har modernisert renstemmingsautomaten for Grovens institutt for renstemming.
Sonomatrix - en høyttalermatrise
Rob Waring
Sonomatrix er et nytt musikkinstrument hvor lydens bevegelse og plassering i rommet kan styres i detalj. Komplekse bevegelsesmønstre i naturen kan lett overføres til instrumentet.
MIDIkontroller
Øyvind Hammer
MIDIkontrolleren er laget for bruk i konserter og installasjoner. Det kan for eksempel dreie seg om bruk av infrarøde sensorer, kroppsvarmedetektorer, lysmålere og brytere, eller styring av lys, motorer eller lignende.
Sensorkontroller
Arve Voldsund
Sensorkontrolleren er laget for å kunne gi presise data fra sensorer som kan være montert i installasjoner, på musikkinstrumenter, osv.
