We present an instrument for audio-visual performance that allows to recombine sounds from a collection of sampled media through concatenative synthesis. A three-dimensional distribution derived from feature-analysis becomes accessible through a theremin-inspired interface, allowing the player to shift from exploration and intuitive navigation toward embodied performance on a granular level. In...
