The Glove:
The violinist wears the controller glove on her right hand. Designed and built for this work, the glove has four sensors sewn onto its lycra surface: three flex sensors -attached to her index, third, and fifth fingers- and an accelerometer (tracking X and Y velocities) positioned on the back of her hand. Wires from the glove's sensors and the accelerometer unite at a serial connection which sends the data to a Pic Microcontroller residing in a small switchbox. The software in the switchbox, also written specifically for this work, translates data coming from the glove into MIDI control signals and sends this out to a MIDI interface and the central computer.
