Percussa to launch AudioCubes workshops for audiovisual artists

AudioCubes designer Bert Schiettecatte will be hosting a series of one day workshops at his private workspace, for a select number of artists, starting November 10th 2009. The workshops are titled "Audio Cubes: Tangible Interface for Audiovisual Creation" and are about exploring the possibilities of tangible interfaces for audiovisual artwork, in particular in sound design, music composition and live performance.

The participants will be introduced to the AudioCubes musical interface and its applications. AudioCubes are a new way to create audiovisual work through gestures and phsyical interaction with a network of intelligent wireless objects.
