Interface (Dan Trueman, Curtis Bahn)
Interactive computer music improvisation duo Interface creates sonic textures ranging from imperceptible noise to a high energy wall of sound. They have extended, surrounded, and obscured their electric stringed instruments with a variety of technologies for a gesturally computer music.
Curtis Bahn plays the SBass, a 5-string vertical bass fitted with electrical pickups, motion, touch and pressure sensors which allows him to control his computer during performance
Dan Trueman plays a 6-string electric violin and an electric bow of his own design: the RBow is a normal violin bow covered with motion and pressure sensors that send information to Trueman's computer performance system.
