Abstract
This paper examines the creation of augmented musical instruments by a number of musicians. Equipped with a system called the Augmentalist, 10 musicians created new augmented instruments based on their traditional acoustic or electric instruments. This paper discusses the ways in which the musicians augmented their instruments, examines the similarities and differences between the resulting instruments and presents a number of interesting findings resulting from this process.
