Percussionist and sound artist Lorenzo Colombo performing an electroacoustic session featuring the T1 and S4 in a hybrid setup combining metal percussion instruments and solenoids. The performance is driven by the T1, used as both sequencer and live MIDI keyboard. It controls the SOMA Pulsar-23 and a set of dadamachines solenoids. The solenoids hit a set of Kolberg percussion bell plates, which function simultaneously as acoustic instruments and conductive metallic surfaces. Through body-resistance and circuit-bending interactions, these plates influence electrical signals and directly modulate the Pulsar-23 as well as generates MIDI that control the same instrument. All audio is routed into the S4, used as the sole sound-shaping and modulation unit.
