Mouthpieces -Florian Dornberger

Mouthpieces is an assembly of seven diverse mouth operated music controllers.

These controllers modify a predefined set of eight audio loops, where each controller module modifies the allocated loop in a different way.

Distinction of controllers during an exhibition is ensured by different colors and shapes.

Mouthpieces was created by a group of 4 students at the FH Potsdam in 2006/2007 at the course Musical Interfaces.
