Interphase by Cacheflowe

The WAVE Festival is an annual light art event in Breckenridge, Colorado, USA. Conceived by the great people at Breckenridge Creative Arts, the 4-day festival brought artists from around the world to light up Breckenridge. Cacheflowe was approached to pitch a concept, and his idea to build an illuminated, multi-user, tactile musical instrument was ultimately approved. He partnered with Audiopixel, who brought fabrication and interactive lighting expertise to the project. “Interphase” was an 8-foot tall touch-sensitive octagon that also served as an 8-channel step sequencer. Each physical wall represented a different sound and sequence pattern that could be controlled by participants by simply tapping on the structure. The resulting audio engine produced hours of original music that was influenced by users’ physical participation.
