IevansPolkka is a demo of some of the bizarre electro-mechanical “exertion instruments” of Noah Vawter.

Noah Vawter created these instruments as part of his work at the Computing Culture Group at MIT Media Lab.

Vawter’s instruments are designed to combine some of the immediacy, portability and quirkiness of traditional instruments with the flexible timbres of electronic ones.

You can find out more about Vawter’s Physically Engaged or Electronic Exertion Instruments at his MIT page.

While these instruments are bizarre – they look like they’d be a lot of fun to play!

      something to think about

      Music is at once the product of feeling and knowledge, for it requires from its disciples, composers and performers alike, not only talent and enthusiasm, but also that knowledge and perception which are the result of protracted study and reflection. — Alban Berg
