BoingBoing: "...Molecule Synth looks like terrific mix of [neat noisemakers, games, water sensors]! ...I can't wait for my son and I to get our hands on a set! " MakeZine Blog: "[Molecule Synth is] a cool synthesizer that can be pieced together, Lego-like, from a series of hexagonal modules that feature different effects" Coolhunting.com: "Resembling more of a genius child's wind-up toy than a musical instrument...Molecule Synth combines rearrangeable hexagonal pieces to create an unconventional version of the traditional keyboard synthesizer.

" Gadgetronica.com: "From now on, not only are your compositions your brainchild but the instrument on which it was created will be too! Thanks to...the Molecule Synth. " The MOLECULE SYNTH is a unique, utterly new kind of musical instrument. “I must Create a System or be enslav'd by another Man's” -William Blake Using the MOLECULE SYNTH is fun and easy! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Digital Washboard Une installation interactive, un instrument virtuel, visuel et sonore. Cet instrument sonore à retour visuel se focalise sur la portée proprioceptive de la gestuelle corporelle et son impact sur le comportement des visiteurs dans leur ra. Ce dispositif s'inspire du washboard américain, un instrument de musique dont le nom signifie littéralement "planche à laver" apparu à la Nouvelle-Orléans à la fin du XIXe siècle.

À l'origine, il s'agissait d'une vraie planche à laver et à battre le linge, reconvertie en instrument de percussions. L'instrument présenté ici est une extrapolation numérique, étendue et virtualisée: un washboard matriciel fondé sur une grille de dimensions 10 par 10, soit une surface de 100 zones interactives. Ce maillage permet d'effectuer des gestes dans toutes les directions du plan, tout en visualisant parfaitement l'image qui est à l'origine des zones de contact.

Par ailleurs le plan peut-être bombé ou incurvé, ce qui accentue la sensation de perspective et met en valeur le rendu visuel en 3D. Des extrusions de la surface ont lieu aux endroits où l'ordinateur repère du mouvement, selon un procédé inspiré d'une technique d'infographie nommée "bump mapping".
