Meta-{Ev}I Innovative Performance Paths With A Wind Controller
Tomás Henriques · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2008
The META-EVI is a novel interface created from an extensive augmentation of the Steiner MIDI EVI, a brass style ‘electric valve instrument’ (EVI), which was expanded with 11 analog sensors and 10 digital switches. The main goal of this project consists in achieving a performance tool that exhibits truly innovative levels of musical expression much beyond what is possible with the original instrument. By allowing the control of a great variety of musical parameters, the META-EVI is able to push the level of musicianship associated with the player of a monophonic wind instrument, to a new plateau of musical complexity.
