I have called it the “islice” because it is basically an iphone attached to the top of the trumpet by means of an up-bent fish slice
The iphone doesn’t make any sound. It allows me to control the software on my computer. This means I can play my trumpet through the computer and change the settings without having to use the mouse. In music tech terms – it is a controller.
I am running an ap on the iphone called touch osc. This allows you to create your own interface with the computer by means of arranging pages of sliders, knobs, x/y controllers. Touch osc facebook page
The computer is running Ableton Live with various plug ins and the looper of choice at the moment is Augustus loop
Video demonstration coming soon……. but for now you can see me using this set up in a solo improvised set in stoke newington London June 2014
