Had a meeting with artist Kenneth Langaas today. My former art teacher and friend Lars Pålgaard recommended him since I was looking to produce the conch as cheap as possible, perhaps even in China, and he gave me a few good connections I will follow up. He also gave me some valuable feedback regarding the project itself. Since I have been uncertain as to how quickly the avarage user can acquire sufficient skills to use the conch, I had originally planned to use it mainly in performances myself. Kenneth reminded me of the potential success in the project if the audiences could interact for themselves. Looking at me controlling the sound might be a somewhat dull experience, and requires the musical aspect to be an artistic experience in and of itself. I have now started programming a short training interface that can get the avarage user up to speed in less than a minute.
