[Ico Doornekamp] sent us his ultrasonic-entirely code based-thermin
project in response to yesterdays Virtual theremin. By using the
programming environment Pure Data, he is able to transform his laptop
into a dual input device (while only using a single microphone) without
modification. By being so open-ended theoretically anyone can have a
theremin within a few moments of downloading, but he does mention it
might not work on all hardware.

Also in relation to yesterday's use of a Wii remote [blobKat] let us
know about his thesis project, performance based music making. After
studying the connection between musicians and their use of laptops
decided that they would want more interaction and movement in their
music creation. He combined gesture recognition and synth based movement
with Wii remotes to achieve his ends. The video above is an explanation
and example of his efforts.
