Transforming everyday objects into musical Instruments: Bruno Zamborlin at TEDxBrussels

Bruno Zamborlin is a technologist, researcher, musician and designer. He's been working on a joint PhD in computational technologies between Paris and London, exploring new methods for gestural interaction and its applications in performing arts and the creation of new musical instruments. Bruno is interested in the topic of Interactive Machine Learning and the possibility of allowing the artist to interact with the entire supervised learning process and the creation and design of his own gesture vocabulary. The early results of this research is Mogees, which uses contact microphones to turn any touchable surface into a musical instrument. Bruno made a video illustrating Mogees that's had more then 300,000 views, furthering his mission to open up gestural vocabulary to impromptu actions and personalisation.

At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

tune your bycicle dude

[@SamuraiOfTheNorth]

Why isnt this available to public? I WANT THIS APP!!! NOW!!!

[@itzkuru5601]

This is probably the best thing I have seen

[@ThePS4Gamer2014]

Wow he's REALLY nervous

[@LakesDubstepBeatbox]

OR.... he is foreign and english isnt his first language but you do you

[@puredemon1231]

Ya, that's what I thought.

[@TheHardw00d]

I'm sorry. What is your Ted talk on?

[@pipa.bhatchaj]

@@LakesDubstepBeatbox yeah he's italian

[@TRAPIXRMD]

fascinating and fun, wonderful thanks

[@dchae]

When the other guy was playing the front wheel's spokes, is it just me or did the notes not change? He changed to other spoke and other gestures... but I kept hearing the rhythmic bass notes...

[@muhammadsurgasavero2206]

seems like most of you never taking a trip with a shroom.. you wouldnt understand until you are in trance, every single notes of every fucking type of music means so much, just as marley said in his music "one good thing about music, when it hit you, you feel no pain"

[@Z4KMORRISS]

this turned into a very abstract music show very fast.

[@cardboardmusic]

Yes, I agree with @Achiox this is a little bit silly. In reality this already exists, and can be used on any resonate surface - the bike is just a diversion, as you see with the table top. The main difference is the how much a surface vibrates, enabling you to cover wider frequency ranges, or other parameters (sound choices etc).

[@01SAMBA]

Excellent idea!!!

[@G3minee]

Amazing! Now where can i buy one ^-^

[@adisatrio3871]

That's kinda trippy tho.. and i enjoy it. well done!! gbu

[@joshuabarrios5028]

He used a app for that! What app is? I have the mic!

[@ilmago78]

Amazing ... Italian genius ;)

[@mrpig2780]

Well he's not Italian.. He's Belgian.

[@ilmago78]

Quentin Karper have you ever used google search? :).. if you don't speak italian .. you can use google traslate... read this.. rumoremag.com/2014/03/04/mogees-app-italiana-per-suonare-oggetti/

[@mrpig2780]

You, sir, are much better at using Google than I am. I think I must have connected him to Brussels. Silly mistake on my part. :)

[@Dev1nci]

I was head banging so hard to this I think I'm going to need a chiropractor.

[@adult8207]

what cord did u use for the table

[@ELTORO619]

they should of used a better speaker. awesome idea

[@Mr_Fourshot]

so many people are racist, ignorant and impatient, this is amazing yet no views! id advise to watch the whole thing its worth it

[@SPLENDIDZEN]

Tracklist?... C'mon!... Please!...

[@noobypvp4352]

not for sale :(

[@XxkirobossxX]

is there some where i can get one

[@CharlieNorth]

...or you could just download the Impaktor app for iPhone and hook it up to a contact mic. This is NOT new information or technology. Looks like a nice guy, but come on, you can already do this on an iPhone. Not to mention this sort of tech has been kicking around in DAW software for years.

[@753238]

It's 2012 bro

[@DireBeastRexYT]

This talk was given in 2012. Your comment was made in 2017.

[@jellydeng1163]

u know what i really hate is when someone ask 'what is the point of it?'

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

like it!!

[@sarojrai1955]

Nice.

[@gravityyt4185]

He seams so scared he is going to mess up 😳

[@mathewskurat5606]

I own that same teacup lol

[@billcaddy359]

Wow...........

[@krishnablah]

frank zappa played the cycle way better and musically :P

[@zackgomez6910]

It's not like you can buy one. You need to BUILD one. Do some research and do it.

[@GenitalVandal]

shut up and take my money!

[@AverageSilenceEnjoyer]

damn he's nervous

[@nickc729]

Horrible speaker, took way to long to say the same things over and over, entirely unrehearsed, the idea is useless, the notes didn't change with the location of the taps as he would have you believe (the notes changed themselves after every tap), please don't give these people your money.

[@wyld-cm]

+Mick Donalds , the system analyzes using the Fourier transform not fundamental frecuencies.

[@hifijohn]

you just described most of these tedx speakers

[@hgahahajhjahe5155]

you missed the point that music isnt supposed to be BORING

[@violinoamore]

What is the point of that ? There are already so many great sophisticated music instruments. Just to play beautiful music on them is required .... To create some sounds on bicycle or plate makes no sense to me ... apart from children game

cuz it's cool!

[@bono95zg]

"Bruno is interested in the topic of Interactive Machine Learning and the possibility of allowing the artist to interact with the entire supervised learning process and the creation and design of his own gesture vocabulary."

[@violinoamore]

***** Because real music instrument created by special manufacturers sound much better. Why should you limit yourself to driving a car invented and made by somebody else ? Create your own and drive.

[@violinoamore]

violinoamore Any decent dedicated music instrument sounds much better than this fun - which is just fun ... (and quite complicated fun)

[@amj.composer]

Someone's stuck in the 1600s
