My goal was to control a variety of parameters and functions in a max\/msp patch with the saxophone mechanism, while play the saxophone as usual.  In past attempts to develop such a control system, I implemented foot pedals, iPhones and microphones, but I found the control possibilities to be somewhat limiting and cumbersome.  To overcome these challenges and create a saxophone controller that is both functional as an electronic input device and as a working saxophone, I retrofitted my saxophone with a number of sensors.<br \/>\nI intended the sonic output of my project to be completely open-ended.  It is my hope that the device will not produce a particular variety of music, but rather enable a new world of hybrid electro-acoustic music.  However, for the purpose of demonstration, I implemented some of the features of my device in a version of my improvisatory composition \u201cSaxophony.\u201d <\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;SuperSax&#8221; &#8211; Joel Hunt<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/png","media_details":{"width":1018,"height":566,"file":"2013\/07\/Screen-Shot-2013-07-15-at-11.21.55-AM.png","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"Screen-Shot-2013-07-15-at-11.21.55-AM-150x150.png","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/lifeorange.com\/Art122\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Screen-Shot-2013-07-15-at-11.21.55-AM-150x150.png"},"medium":{"file":"Screen-Shot-2013-07-15-at-11.21.55-AM-300x166.png","width":300,"height":166,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/lifeorange.com\/Art122\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Screen-Shot-2013-07-15-at-11.21.55-AM-300x166.png"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"Screen-Shot-2013-07-15-at-11.21.55-AM-624x346.png","width":624,"height":346,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/lifeorange.com\/Art122\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Screen-Shot-2013-07-15-at-11.21.55-AM-624x346.png"},"full":{"file":"Screen-Shot-2013-07-15-at-11.21.55-AM.png","width":1018,"height":566,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/lifeorange.com\/Art122\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Screen-Shot-2013-07-15-at-11.21.55-AM.png"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":0,"credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":0,"copyright":"","focal_length":0,"iso":0,"shutter_speed":0,"title":""}},"post":127,"source_url":"https:\/\/lifeorange.com\/Art122\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Screen-Shot-2013-07-15-at-11.21.55-AM.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeorange.com\/Art122\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/145"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeorange.com\/Art122\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeorange.com\/Art122\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeorange.com\/Art122\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeorange.com\/Art122\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=145"}]}}
