Have you ever tried controlling music with your face?

Well, Lonershy tried it by combining a Teensy board, Makey Makey, and some ambient sounds!

I embarked in a weird mission of exploring ways to control music production. Here im controlling a @korgofficial #volcasample with some face movement inputs. To know more follow the link in bio.

Curious about how he made this? He didn't know anything about programming, but he was able to find a lot of great ideas out there and he describes his process here.

Makey Makey in the Kitchen with Ableton

Lonershy dreamt up this ambient sound experiment by using Makey Makey to launch digital sound effects on Abelton, and even picked up the sounds of the objects he touches by using a contact mic. THIS IS SO COOL!

Lots of things going on here. Launching sounds on ableton via @makeymakey and picking the physical sounds on the sink at the same time with a contact mic, all through some effects. Weird interaction between analog and digital, full video explanation is up on youtube, and guess what?
