Music for Flesh II
Solo piece for augmented muscles sounds
(Xth Sense Biosensing Wearable Technology)

Recorded live at The University of Edinburgh, UK, March 2011.

Xth Sense is an ongoing research project which includes a low cost and Open Source based framework for the application of muscle sounds to biophysical generation and control of music. It consists of:

- a low-cost biosensing wearable hardware device;

- a DSP modular software for capture, analysis and processing of biological sounds of the body (Pure Data-based).

Being the use of open source technologies an integral part of the project, the long-term outcome of the research is the implementation of low cost, open and re-distributable tools (software and hardware) for augmenting biological sounds in a real time environment.

Designed and developed by Marco Donnarumma with the support of:
ACE Sound Design, The University of Edinburgh
Dorkbot ALBA @ Edinburgh Hacklab.

Special thanks to Marianna Cozzolino and Andrea Donnarumma.
