The samchillian - a musical instrument based on relativity.



Uploaded by: eshefer
Video Description:
Eitan Shefer's graduation project from the Bezalel academy of art and design.
http://eshefer.com An electronic musical instrument which takes Leon Gruenbaum's samchillian concept and defines a possible product design for it. The challenge was to make an aesthetic, ergonomic, musical product which could be used on stage by a musician. the samchillian is a new type of musi
cal instrument which uses the concept of relative notes, rather then fix pitches (as in a piano). http://samchillian.com The film was made by Eitan Shefer in a collaboration with motion graphics wizard Eric Lerner. http://www.ericlerner.com

Interesting concept ... ( 5 months ago by evanASF27)
Interesting concept for an instrument... but one has to wonder: just how you'd write music for that?
With ordinary instruments (piano, guitar, tuba) they've fixed notes on a staff. The Samchillian is based on numbers and physical motion (I.E. the thumb controls) so how would one write a sheet of music for something like that?
Not saying it's a bad idea... just curious.
playing from ... ( 5 months ago by eshefer)
playing from standard notation is nearly impossible. I tend to do more freestyle solo improvisation, and for this you don't really need notation anyway. the notation I tend to use, when I need to, represents the relative changes (IE the numbers) between the notes. the motion sensing bit is not that hard to notate (you could use a graph reprisenting the values for example) - but I never found a need to notate that aspect of performance.
Very interesting. ... ( 5 months ago by evanASF27)
Very interesting. Heh, I thought this was a more improv-centric instrument. As for the sheet music style you mentioned, I'd love to see something like that (out of curiosity mainly). I'm a trumpet player myself, so different styles of printing music facinate me.
Thanks for the reply.
alternate scales is ... ( 5 months ago by eshefer)
alternate scales is just a matter of probramming them into the software. Leon's software alwredy supports pentatonic, as well as other non-standard scales such as a 20 and 40 notes per octave scales. I don't use them much, but it's doable.
