The Human Resistor
The Human Resistor is an interactive sound sculpture and performance instrument created from hacked consumer electronics, plywood and copper pipe. It was included in the Occam's Razor show at the Santa Fe Complex (Oct. - Nov. 2008) I also used it to perform with Martin Back for the opening of the show. Zane Fischer, of the Santa Fe Reporter, described the work as, "...a satisfying, interactive rabbit hole, in which tactility becomes sound." (October 2008)
