Dalia Senvaityte, Johan Pauwels, Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London

Description:
The Hexaphonic Guitar demonstrates the creative opportunities that become available once the strings of the guitar can be processed individually. Currently, dedicated hardware and guitar modifications at recording time are required to make it happen, but software to work with previously recorded mono files is under development.
