Here are some photos of Sophia and Kris trying out my head(banger)phones the other day:
I’m finding more blog posts about the head(banger)phones from across the international Internets.

Here are some photos of me presenting the head(banger)phones at the ITP Winter Show 2008 last night. Thanks to Justin Tedaldi, editor of the JETAANY Newsletter, for the photos.
The head(banger)phones are a personal music device made up of a pair of headphones and a sensor. When the user wears the head(banger)phones, the motion and position of her head triggers different sounds, creating a dynamic interactive musical experience.

Gizmodo reports that I did the project using Max/MSP, but actually I used Processing/Arduino.

I’m getting ready to present the head(banger)phones for the ITP Winter Show. A little bit of solder helped to get rid of the short circuit problem I was having periodically with the accelerometer. I also replaced the orchestral audio samples I originally used to demo the head(banger)phones with some synth samples I recorded from my Sidstation.
