RECENT PROJECTS
ABOUT
Felted Signal Processing is the arts and research project of sisters Sarah and Lara Grant, focused on soft interface design and sensor development.
Lara has a background in costume and textile design and soft sensor development. Sarah has a background in visual arts and creative development. They are both alumnae of NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program.

FSP 005 MODULAR SYNTH
2010/11
FSP 005 is a soft recreation of an analog modular synthesizer, providing an interface of soft conductive felt patch cords that invite participants to experience new ways of physically interacting with sound.
FELT SENSORS
2010
An inside look into Lara’s thesis project as she get’s ready to graduate from the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU.
FORTUNE TELLER
2010
Fortune Teller is a little experiment in old childhood play and origami-inspired forms for a felted controller designed to work with arduino and max/msp. Samples used in max patch provided by Shikhiu Ing. Video / audio documentation forthcoming!
16TH AND MISSION
2009
San Francisco Mission District inspired sewing machine controller for max/msp via Arduino and serial communication.
AUDIOTRAILS
2009
Audiotrails is a wearable piece referencing the body. The garment is a wearable controller, featuring a set of entrails that plug into different parts of the body for producing noise in conjunction with Arduino, serial, and max/msp.
SPEAKERDRESS
2009
Hand-felted garment featuring conductive felt panels in the front for a performer to interact with, triggering sounds generated via PWM (pulse width modulation) with an Arduino board, amplified through a homemade speaker installed into the back of the dress.
FELTED SIGNAL PROCESSING
2008
Analog and digital signal processing circuits (aka guitar pedals) with a felted interface in lieu of hardware pots.
