Title: K.C.S.L.S.--KEYBOARD-CONTROLLED SOUND/LIGHT SYNCHRONIZER 1978.00 / Dimensions: 50 cm x 50 cm x 40 cm. Handmade electronic device intended as a prototype for a full-scale version. The purpose of this device was to produce an visual analog of music performed on a keybaord in real time that would reveal the mathematical structure of music (pitch and rhythm). Such a device, it was thought at the time of construction, would provide hearing impaired persons a way of accessing the underlying mathematical structure of music, as well as to enjoy the experience of performing it on a keyboard instrument. Such a device would also enhance the listening experience of people with normal hearing ability.
