Electric Bop It
The Electric Bop It is a game for 1 player, testing one’s memory, rhythm and coordination. An adaptation of the classics Simon and Bop It, my take on this game has a bit of a twist: there’s a price to pay for losing. More info…
Loopda
Loopda is a hardware/software combo design to give the user 6 tracks of simultaneous looping when paired with a 6 channel or more sound card interface for their computer. More Info…
Midibox 1-10
The first MIDI controller I built. A 10 button/10 fader MIDI controller made as a mixer with Live PA in mind. Made using a miditron, some really nice 100mm faders, and lighted push buttons. When your channel is on, so is the light, when it’s off, so is the light.
2008
LEMUR’s Pyrostomp
An interactive flame-thrower setup, hooked up to a huge 16-step sequencer, a dance-floor like installation for people to dance on. Premiered at the Virgin Mobile Festival 2008, in Pimlico Baltimore, MA. Unfortunately, no footage that I’ve found of this event exists except this picutre, if you have some, please let me know!
