\"LunchBox-Hyperflute\"<\/a>Have you ever looked at something and said to yourself: “I think we can change it?”<\/p>\n

Cl\u00e9o Palacio-Quintin<\/a> certainly did! As a research project, she took a look at the venerable, traditional flute and said: “I can change that!”<\/p>\n

She invented the “Hyper-Flute”<\/a>, a “standard Boehm flute (the model used is a Powell 2100, made in Boston) extended via electronic sensors that link it to a computer, enabling control of digital sound processing parameters while performing” (abstract<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Cl\u00e9o Palacio-Quintin is holding two free events here on campus, one on Sunday and the other at noon-time on Wednesday, April 1. Sarah Beth Shiplett<\/strong> joined me and (“Hi, I’m”) Fred<\/strong> on this edition of The Lunchbox to talk about the hyper-flute, the changing nature of classical instruments and the integration of multi-media into music.<\/p>\n
