Quartet
Jeff Lieberman, Dan Paluska (US)
Open Days at the Ars Electronica Center
January 2 to 4, 2009
Award of Distinction in the Interactive Art category at Prix Ars Electronica 2008. Become the fourth member of a musical quartet, by entering a short melodic theme through a simple web interface. The custom software expands your theme into a unique three-minute piece of music. The music is played by the three robotic members of the Quartet: The first is a ballistic marimba, which launches rubber balls 2m in the air, precisely aimed at marimba keys. 35 tuned wineglasses are played by robotic fingers, and an ethnic percussion ensemble round out the quartet.
Your performance is broadcast live, and a video is archived on the homepage http://quartet.cc to share your creation with others.
