Feedback bass

(Ongoing)

This is an ongoing project making and playing a feedback-augmented double bass, an instrument in a family of vibrotactile feedback instruments. The sound from the bass is picked up with four Nu capsules, processed with a Bela and sent back to a couple of transducer speakers mounted on the bass, creating a feedback loop.
