BeaT-Bearing – Tangible Sequencer

This is a real artical piece of instrument. Some man really want to know how it feels.

A tangible rhythm sequencer. Ball bearings are used to trigger (Roland TR-808) drum sounds. Visual feedback is provided from a CRT display underneath to indicate the current time and the state of each beat. More information can be found at both my homepage: www.sarc.qub.ac.uk the BeatBearing project site: www.beatbearing.co.uk And my blog petes-sonic-art-research.blogspot.com The BeatBearing was created as part of my PhD research in the Sonic Arts Research Centre (SARC), at Queens University, Belfast. SARC’s website is here: www.sarc.qub.ac.uk

    @peterdbennett it will probably be a while before i start something like this, its just alittle to complicated for my experience level at the moment.

    it’s frustrating how you take them off then put them in the rack at the bottom, then put them back on again. PLACE THEM FASTER DAMN IT
