Abstract
An electromagnetic (EM) musical instrument system includes an excitation signal generator to generate an excitation signal. The system also includes an excitation signal applier coupled to the excitation signal generator. The excitation signal applier receives the excitation signal and transmits a corresponding excitation signal to an EM musical instrument. The excitation signal applier is further configured to modulate the corresponding excitation signal to produce audio effects. An EM musical instrument, in response to receiving the corresponding excitation signal, generates an EM output signal associated with a produced sound. The system also includes an EM output receiver coupled to the EM musical instrument to receive the EM output signal.
Claims41
An electromagnetic (EM) musical instrument system, the system comprising:
- an excitation signal generator to generate an excitation signal;
- an excitation signal applier to receive the excitation signal and to transmit an unmodulated corresponding excitation signal to an EM musical instrument, wherein the excitation applier is coupled to the excitation signal generator;
- and
- an EM musical instrument to modify the corresponding excitation signal and generate an EM output signal associated with a produced sound.
A method for generating electromagnetic music, the method comprising:
- generating an unmodulated excitation signal;
- applying the unmodulated excitation signal to an electromagnetic (EM) musical instrument having:
- a body and EM characteristics that differ from one or more EM characteristics of a free space adjacent to the EM musical instrument;
- and
- a port coupled to the body and configured to receive the excitation signal and to apply the received excitation signal to the body;
- measuring the response of the EM musical instrument to the excitation signal;
- and
- recording the measured response to generate an electromagnetic musical signal.
