The *Table*
The *Table*
Our instrument is an interactive tabletop for playing music in a 3D space where the upper–body and fingers’ free movements in mid-air extend the action of the fingers’ physical contacts with a screen.
The goal of this new instrument is to allow electronic music producers to connect with both the musical material and their audience, putting forward embodied expressions through natural and expert gestures.

Table Embodme // Cristal Baschet
Original composition for Cristal Baschet and Table. Created for the festival "Musique aux Mines", at MINES ParisTech, Paris - (05/09/17).
Mixed and Contemporary Music Performances
A contemporary music composition by Viky Tsekouropoulou was recently written for two Tables and a string quartet. This challenging creation opened new horizons for our instrument in the domain of contemporary and mixed music. The concert premiered at the Thessaloniki Megaron music hall in July 2016 and a second was held in Paris at the festival "Musique aux Mines" in september 2016.

About me

in the field of music technology and human-computer
interaction, where he has been developing musical interfaces and
installations for the past 7 years. Previous experiences, both in the
music industry and academic research (University of Edinburgh,
IRCAM, Mines ParisTech) has lead him to specialize in the design of
musical interactions, based on gesture recognition. He has recently
finished his PhD thesis at Mines ParisTech, where he imagined the Table.
