Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
Music Instrument Controllers with Fiber and Malleable Materials

Location:   Expo Green   

New materials like conductive thread, piezoresistive textiles and carbon fiber make it possible to build compelling new musical instrument controllers in minutes and hours without the carpentry skills traditional lutherie require. I will show you how to build these new instruments and invent your own.
