(2016 – frame design in final development stage)
A laser harp is an existing electronic musical instrument controller concept with an important performance aspect. A number of laser beams act as “strings”. When interupting a beam, a light sensor can trigger a synthesiser.
The current laser harp design features the convenient Axoloti synthesiser platform which allows for multiphonic synthesis techniques. Moreover, as the analogue sensor inputs can measure gradual voltage ranges, an extended control is achieved by partly interupting the laser beams.
