The TOOB: improvisation with a custom audiovisual instrument by Arvid Tomayko-Peters

Arvid Tomayko-Peters provides CDM with this preview of his work on the TOOB, a "hyperinstrument" of his own creation. He'll perform with this audiovisual invention at Handmade Music Brooklyn on 3/8; more details on createdigitalmusic.com soon.

His description:

"The TOOB is a unique wireless electronic wind controller - a 'hyper-trumpet' if you will. I built it in 2007 to harness some of my skills as a trumpet player in the digital music realm.

The TOOB consists of a module for each hand joined by a 1" diameter flexible vinyl hose. The left hand module contains three pressure sensors and the accelerometer. The right hand module contains the breath sensor, the button and the remaining three pressure sensors."
