Rock Out with Your MakerBot Out!

Jul 16, 2010

object Object – “pyramid” (excerpt) from EFFALO on Vimeo.

I’m from Seattle and so it makes me particularly happy to hear that the fantastic music scene there now includes MakerBots as musical instruments!

this is a excerpt from the first performance of object Object, an experimental music project staffed by EFFALO collaborator mogden (drums) and principal mfelix (3dprinter management). performed live on 7/11/2010 @ chop suey in seattle.

the sounds of the makerbot are captured with contact microphones and paired with live drums. as an object (in this case a pyramid) is printed, layer-by-layer, its inherent form is recontextualized into an interpretive sound-geometry.
