about
  • fijuu is a 3D, audio/visual installation. Using a PlayStation-style gamepad, the player(s) of fijuu dynamically manipulate 3D instruments to make improvised music. fijuu is built using the open source rendering engine OGRE and runs on Linux. in the future fijuu will be released as a Linux live CD project, so players can simply boot up their PC with a compatible gamepad plugged in, and play without installing anything (regardless of operating system). This effectively turns the domestic PC into a console for game based audio performances.

    • See the project outline for a quick overview of Fijuu2.

    shoulder surfing

    just a note to mention that fijuu is on display in the foyer of Haus Der Kulturen Der Welt in Berlin until the 8th, as part of transmediale04. tonight was the opening, and being unable to resist, i spent most of the evening spying on the controller-technique of the players.

    i'm surprised how many people instinctively mash the d-pad and not the analog-sticks. i guess i'm underestimating the cultural influence of the super-NES. still, most people eventually bump one of the sticks and discover the mesh-warping juiciness which results. i even saw a few brave souls studying the cheat-sheet, trying to master the controls of the sequencer.
