BGGD #9 speaker: Bert Schiettecatte, with a demo of audiocubes
Bert Schiettecatte was born in Ghent, Belgium and has a passion for electronic music, musical instruments, and engineering.
After studying in Brussels he completed a Master of Arts in Music, Science and Technology, at Stanford University’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) with the help of the Belgian-American Educational Foundation, and returned to Belgium to found Belgium-based company PERCUSSA.
PERCUSSA’s mission is to design and market the electronic musical instruments of the future. At Brussels Girl Geek Dinner #9, Bert will demonstrate the Audiocubes.
The AudioCubes are unique in their simple user interface and offer a novel approach to sound synthesis: collaborative music creation. Think of each AudioCube as a single synthesizer module connected by light beams instead of patch cables, and moving the cubes similar to moving the controls on a synthesizer module and you’ll have a pretty good idea as to the possibilities AudioCubes offer.
