Introduction

This project attempted to create a natural form of musical expression by connecting sensors to the body. Six tilt switches were attached to the wrist, ankles, and shoulders, each controlling a single pitch from the pentatonic scale. The heart beat was obtained using photoplethysmography on the user's finger, and this signal was used to strike a drum in sync with the heart beat.
