Abstract or Description

REBUS is a digital compositional tool and interactive system which radically innovates the 100 years old Theremin technique, generating an electromagnetic field that forms an immaterial interface which can be manipulated by the movement of the hands and the body. It is part of a wider research exploring electromagnetic sensing systems for expressive interaction in electronic music, performance, and time-based media art.

Originally developed by Eleonora Oreggia as an interdisciplinary PhD at the Antennas & Electromagnetics Group and the Centre for Digital Music funded by Queen Mary University of London and the EPSRC, the instrument is currently the focus of the Electromagnetic Interaction research supported by the Early Career Research Fund at Department of Computing and Department of Music at Goldsmiths, University of London.

In 2023 REBUS has been the subject of a short residency and a public talk at the Intelligent Instruments Lab in Reykjavík.
