Basic research on the translation of various biological, chemical and mechanical principles into the language of electronic musical instruments and vice versa
Electronic musical instruments can exchange different musical information using different languages. Various subjects from our world can be translated into the most basic type of communication called control voltage, used mainly in analog instruments. We can also use motors to convert abstract voltages into real motor strokes and such. The Bastl Instruments team has done extensive basic research in this field, which is now moving into the applied phase of developing specialized products that will allow anyone to interact with music and the world in unexpected new ways.
