Experience Audio-Visual Control with Mark Mosher

New to this years’ set up will be Boulder-based electronic musician and performer Mark images-9Mosher who will be bringing his multi-player “9 Box” to Dr. Bob’s Interactive Sonic Experience. ??Part collaborative instrument, part interactive installation – the 9 Box allows up to four casual players to instantly make music and shape sound using smart wireless sensor cubes called AudioCubes made by California-based Percussa. In addition to being an intriguing jam instrument, the 9 Box and AudioCubes are becoming popular as a teaching solution in STEM schools.
