The very final test in this project was to run a presentation at a public event organised by Drake Music. The event hosted another presentation apart from ours, related to accessible Djing, and it was really interesting. Our presentation was great, and we enjoyed talking about the different stages and concepts of our project. We had loads of entangled questions and different suggestions for future improvements in our instruments. The attendants were very interested on the device, and the conversation ended into diverse fields of accessibility, physicality and technology. We also accompanied the talk with pictures of the development process as well as a little demonstration of the instrument and some people even tried it after the presentation. Here is a short video recorded by one of the attendants.
The whole presentation was recorded on zoom and it will be probably shared soon, however, despite of Annie and us having contacted Drake Music via email, I’m afraid that at the time that I’m writing this, on the submission day, we still don’t have access to these recordings. I will make another blog post with them so at the time of marking this unit they might be available. I hope that this could still be taken into consideration, taking into account that the presentation happened just two days before the submission deadline, but I think this is an valuable documentation about our progress during this unit.
Anyway, here I will leave Drake Music’s website for any further information, they use to upload the full presentations in Youtube too. We really enjoyed this experience, it was a really interesting project. Here are some pictures that I took from the event.
