An acoustic bass was transformed into an electronic speaker using a combination of PureData and Ableton digital software.
Manwai Che, a Juliard trained musician, wanted to create a new electro-acoustic instrument using his Bass Cello and custom digital tools. Working with programmers and sound artists, the team presented a prototype design.
