FLUX is a tactile gestural instrument for an instrumental control of electronic sounds.
This project is the result of in-depth research regarding shape, materials and ergonomics, inspired by traditional acoustic instruments. Unlike most of the existing electronic instruments, acoustic instruments
have a real gestural repertoire which enables the musician to express themselves with virtuosity. Flux was inspired by these instruments so as to reinstate the gesture in the instrumental performance of electronic music. The touch sensors allow for the exploration of new instrumental gestures.
An electronic instrument, besides allowing for the instrumental playing of electronic music, has the power to bring together the two worlds : the instrumentalists and the electronic music artists. One of the main goals of this project was to render gestures intelligible and allow the electronic music player to take the floor and play together, improvise, engage in a dialogue with classical instrumentalists.
