Abstract

Iztmo is a conceptual project of an electronic percussion instrument that works under a network environment to establish communication among multiple users. A new language is then created, based on rhythm, and enriched by each person's cultural background with the main purpose of being in harmony. Iztmo emits up to five sounds, divided in different ways of interaction: the user can strike it, rattle it, and scrape it. Some might play well, some might have no rhythm. But everybody will learn sharing this experience. A self-standing video was made to explain the concept and to demonstrate how the experience works.
