2009–ongoing
YARMI
An augmented-reality musical instrument begun in 2009, now being reconsidered as an ensemble of augmented musical stations.
YARMI began as an augmented-reality musical instrument in which tracked physical objects could be used to construct and manipulate musical relationships. It was documented at NIME 2009 and revisited in A New Iteration of YARMI.
The ongoing YARMI 2 project is a redesign rather than a reconstruction of the original system. Its proposed structure is an ensemble of independently playable augmented musical stations, with a legible relationship between a performer's actions, computational transformation and musical consequence.
The current repository records design decisions and early technical proofs. The revised station and multi-station ensemble are in development, not represented here as a completed instrument.
