What does it take to create self-aware robotic instruments out of a piece of paper? A workshop was only the start of a new type of avant-garde robotic origami music performances.
Oribotics, a combination of origami and robotics, offers fascinating possibilities – from tiny biomedical devices to the giant James Webb Space Telescope. Together with a team of researchers, key researcher and artist Matthew Gardiner has been developing Oribotics since 2010 at the Ars Electronica Futurelab. With oribotic instruments, the team found a playful way to give robotic origami a musical expression: In a workshop, participants were able to create the paper-based instruments themselves. The potential of the avant-garde instruments was showcased during the festivities for the Ars Electronica Futurelab’s 25th anniversary.

I shot this for the Macro Mondays group theme of Musical Instruments: 23/05/2011.
This wonderful little electronic device is called a Stylophone! It was invented in the late sixties and produced until the mid seventies! The, err, synthesizer, was promoted by no other than Rolf Harris, who released a number of play along records, and appeared in commercials advocating its use.
I'm not sure the noise it produces can be called music, but as you can see below from the operating instructions, it claims to be the greatest little instrument of the century!
Who am I to disagree? :)

I visited the Butcher & Larder today for the first (but defninitely not last) time. It is a new local butcher that is focussed on sustainability and locally sourced meat. Among other things I loved the fact that you watch them cut your meat right in front of you. My daughter was quite fascinated to see which part of the pig we were going to be eating for dinner.
Oh yeah, I also loved this set of knives hanging on the wall.

I always envied the flute and piccolo players. Their instruments weighed next to nothing. Heck, the piccolo players could put them in their pockets at the end of the parade. I, however had to lug this stupid, heavy, baritone sax around which really was only good for playing the Pink Panther theme.

I don't know to play any instrument but would one day learn to play Guitar. This photo would be one of my tributes towards all the great Guitarists.
I received feedback from few friends that there should be more light in this shot but personally I like it this way. And the only editing done here is addition of logo & frame.
Setup: Guitar placed on a chair with a black wall behind it. The lighting has been done by a single torch with a exp of 30 secs. More of my experiments

This display of specially developed scientific instruments is at Rockefeller University in Manhattan. Sometimes what's already available isn't good enough for cutting edge science. Rockefeller University participated in Open House New York in 2019.

A redux of the Macro Mondays challenge "Musical Instrument". When the challenge first appeared, I was not anywhere near my source of musical instruments (the sister-in-law's house, or even the father-in-law). But now it's the annual holiday pilgrimage back to Houston. What do I spy, but a bow on a wall. So, after several attempts to get the photo done right (a good stack with minimal artefacts), here we are. There are 52 source images, acquired using the in-camera focus bracket function. A floor-standing reading lamp provided light and my little tabletop tripod held the camera ('twas tippy, but we managed).

The stringed instrument is one that my son picked up while in the Philippines. It has 16 strings and he has no idea how to tune it. The percussion instruments represent many different countries.
