BeatBearing

BeatBearing is a tangible rhythm sequencer. Ball bearings are used to trigger (Roland TR-808) drum sounds. Visual feedback is provided from a CRT display underneath to indicate the current time and the state of each beat.

Created by Peter Bennett, this ingenious creation makes Tenori-On seem positively old skool !

Pete is studying for a PhD at the Sonic Arts Research Centre (SARC) at Queens University Belfast
