Designing and performing with Pandora’s Box: transforming feedback physically and with algorithms
Ward J. Slager · 2021
This paper discusses Pandora's Box, a novel idiosyncratic electroacoustic instrument and performance utilizing feedback as sound generation principle.The instrument's signal path consists of a closed-loop through custom DSP algorithms and a spring.Pandora's Box is played by tactile interaction with the spring and a control panel with faders and switches.The design and implementation are described and rituals are explained referencing a video recording of a concert.
