SAMPLIFIER is a concept software/hardware digital audio performance and production tool, derived from my thesis portfolio work at UC Denver between 2021-2023.
My portfolio the research and development of a unique, wearable instrument using microcontrollers and visual-code based sound design to facilitate simultaneous production and performance. It was devised between myself and Alejandra Ghersi (stagename: Arca), intended for performance in October 2023 and is currently still in development.
