Interface
Live performance, Porto
Music is created by selecting a coloured segment from the middle wheel and placing it in an empty cell on any of the outer wheels. Each wheel has various controls: speed, direction, volume and random playback. Sequences can be saved. This device was designed to allow music to have no beginning, middle or end, – infinite music.
