Arckler Instruments
JOE is an electronic musical instrument that lets you play sound effects by moving your hands.
It is a MIDI theremin. I developed it to get familiar with fab lab techniques: programming, Arduino, electronic circuit design, laser cutting. I went into it with no prior knowledge.
Tested by Rone.
This adventure took me to Cancale, in Brittany, to spend a day alone with the artist Rone and have him try the instrument. We spent long stretches under a tree, talking in his garden. A moment like that was worth all those years of effort.
JOE, from zero to open source
Starting with no prior knowledge, I published JOE as open source, under the Arckler Instruments banner.
