Hebie Leung (MFA, School of TEA) and Valencia Tung (BA, School of Music) are doing an experiment with the Playtronica TouchMe and Playtron. They are trying to use their own skin and fruit to create music in this experiment.
What are Playtronica TouchMe and Playtron?
TouchMe is a musical instrument that turns skin, water, or flowers into sound. It's a MIDI controller that allows you to create music by touching conductive surfaces. The intensity and area of your touch determine the sound. You can connect TouchMe to a computer, tablet, or smartphone and use it with Playtronica's online synth or your favorite music software.
Playtron is a MIDI controller that allows you to play music using conductive objects. Essentially, you can turn everyday items like fruits, vegetables, or even your own skin into musical instruments.
