Knurl's bow

In addition to the several sound controllers that Knurl is able to manipulate live, the Knurl bow was created to control the parameters of the triggered sounds with the movement of the performer right hand. This instrument-interface was based on the research of Andi Otto: the fello. 

This device has its own microcontrller (a tiny computer) programmed to send the data of the 3d dimensional axis when you press its button. By its accelerometer sensor, it discerns the subtlest movements and gestures of the performer's hand, offering a mor intuitive way to control variables of sounds.

On Knurl, I use this device to control Frequency, Loudness and Filtering with these 3 axis (X Y and Z). The device is printed with recycled material and has a built in battery that holds around 2 hours of playing.

It works indepindependently from the instrument (Knurl). In the project This isn't solo, for example, I have used the same design to control parameters of digital sounds on Ableton.
