Carpe Zythum - Kinect controlled pipe organ (full performance)
Channel: Chris Vik
Date: 13/04/2012

"Carpe Zythum", a performance with Elise Richards (Vocals) and Chris Vik (myself controlling the organ with the Kinect) along with a pre-composed piece written by both Elise and I. It was performed in November 2011 at the Melbourne Town Hall.

I've created my own software "Kinectar" (http://kinectar.org), which allows the use of the Kinect to control MIDI devices, ie. playing notes through simple gestures and motion - I hooked this up to the organ.
