Sass N Harmony

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Sass N Harmony

Home: California, United States

Sass N Harmony is a multi-instrumental trio, best described as soul folk. The music of Sass N Harmony is imbued with mischief and magic to bring you lyrics immersed in archetypes and folk-tales. Their vocals fly together like a tight triangle of birds overhead, agilely changing directions when needed. At times angelic and feathery and other times cackling and edgy, full of tension and resolve, with lyrics that go straight to the heart. We will be performing on the Rock the Bike pedal power sound system. We are proud to have previously toured with bike-powered sound through 14 different countries in Europe and North America for a total of over 12 months of biking!! We are looking forward to contributing to this ongoing community of environmental musicians and sustainable technologies!

Space Palette Pro – A New Casual Instrument

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Tim Thompson

Home: California, United States

The Space Palette Pro is the latest iteration of the 'casual instrument' style of interactive installation that I've been developing for the last decade. Similar to casual games, casual instruments provide immediately entertaining and satisfying results, with the potential for deeply expressive exploration. This latest version uses the Sensel Morph, a multitouch surface with extreme pressure-sensitivity. By finger-painting on these pads, you simultaneously play music and generate visuals. No pre-recorded media, sequences, or loops are used – everything is generated in realtime by your hands. Much of the project has been open-sourced.
