Abstract

In this paper we explore the potential of extending the playability of traditional musical instruments by outfitting the playing environment with a Pressure Sensitive Hybrid (PuSH) Sensor. We discuss the development of the PuSH-Overture concept, specifically discussing a demonstration entitled PuSh-Chair. We discuss how a pressure sensor interprets gesture and movement of a Bodhrán player, allowing the musician to explore numerous musical paradigms in real-time, without interfering with the physical instrument. We describe the manufacture of the sensing device, its implementation and planned developments for the future.
