Abstract:

The authors introduce and document how to build the t-Tree, a digital musical instrument (DMI), interactive music system (IMS), hub, and docking station that embeds several t-Sticks. The t-Tree’s potential for collaborative performance as well as an installation is discussed. Specific design choices and inspiration for the t-Tree are explored. Finally, a prototype is developed and showcased that attempts to meet the authors’ goals of creating a novel musical experience for musicians and non-musicians alike, expanding on the premise of the original t-Stick, and mitigating technical obsolescence of DMIs.
