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.

    the name

    since it's obviously our #1 FAQ, here is the deal with the name:

    "fijuu" is the slavic onomatopoeia for something rushing past your head (like a bullet, or low flying bird). the "j" is pronounced more like the english "y", so it is pronounced like "phew", or "fee-you". you are welcome to play around with the emphasis all you want, since it's basically a sound effect. i'd love to be all linus torvalds about the pronunciation, but to say "fee-jew", or "fee-zhou", is to miss the point.

    (a sick and grumpy) pix.
