Vital Arts Media Plectrum Makes Sound You've Never Heard Before

October 17, 2007
Vital Arts Media Plectrum at AES 2007
Vital Arts Media's Plectrum samples sounds you've never heard come out of a keyboard. Creator Geoffrey Gee says on their website that he used existing technology to "make instruments out of sounds I have always loved, but never could play."

Such sounds include a "beautifully" out of tune piano, glasses from Gee's kitchen, and a Yamaha keyboard sample combined with an attack created from the collision of silver on a pillow. Check out the Gearwire video to hear these and more.
Presenter: Geoffrey Gee, Vital Arts Media
Location: 123rd AES, New York
