Maker Faire Long Island 2025
Beep Boop Machine
Home: New York, United States of America
I made a musical Synthesizer and Sequencer in Max MSP, an artistic programing environment. I call it the Beep Boop Machine. I made the Beep Boop machine as an electronic instrument, such that I might be able to use it to perform live with other musicians. During this Maker Faire, I will be using the Beep Boop Machine to perform an improvised set with drummer, June Cummings.

I wanted to create an instrument that I can use perform with my friends. My primary instrument is the Viola, which is a not very loud string instrument, meanwhile most of friends are percussionists, who play big, loud drums all the time. I wanted to make myself an instrument that not only can compete with their volume, but also suites me better than viola, and so I made the Beep Boop Machine.
