The Electronic_Khipu_ , developed by Patricia Cadavid Hinojosa, Master Candidate at Interface Cultures, is an instrument for the interaction and generation of experimental sound inspired by the traditional Andean Khipus. Instead of cords of cotton or wool, this new electronic Khipu is made of conductive rubber strings sensors. The playing experience is based on weaving different kinds of knots in real-time, sending MIDI to a music software. Patricia Cadavid Hinojosa performs with this instrument on stage to create sounds and visuals inspired by the Andean culture.
Tawa_ is the live performance of the eponymous album released in January 2021 by Vienna-based netlabel Smallforms. smallforms.bandcamp.com/album/tawa
Patricia Cadavid Hinojosa nimmt im Juni 2022 mit der Performance Tawa_ am internationalen ISEA 2022 Symposium of Electronic Arts in Barcelona teil.
