Percussionist and sound artist Lorenzo Colombo performs an electroacoustic session with the T1 and S4 at the centre of a hybrid setup combining metal percussion instruments and solenoids.

The T1 drives the performance as both sequencer and live MIDI keyboard, controlling a SOMA Pulsar-23 and a set of dadamachines solenoids. The solenoids strike Kolberg percussion bell plates, which function both as acoustic instruments and conductive metallic surfaces.

Through body-resistance and circuit-bending interactions, the plates influence electrical signals, modulate the Pulsar-23, and generate MIDI for the same instrument. All audio is routed into the S4, used as the sole sound-shaping and modulation unit.
