SPontaniety
Background
Spontaneity is more than a name—it’s a philosophy. This project was built entirely out of newness: new tools, new concepts, new language. I came into this class with zero experience in circuitry, coding, soldering, or sound art. Everything you see here is the result of a spontaneous journey into the unknown—where I took each step without knowing exactly where it would lead, trusting the process to guide me forward.
The name Spontaneity reflects the nature of both the build and the performance: unplanned, improvised, and open to surprise. This instrument was not created for perfection—it was created for experience. That same value carries through to the performance, which embraces unpredictability as a creative force. Every interaction with this instrument is different. Every sound is a moment happening only once.
This was never just about building something. It was about building myself into someone who could.
Inspiration
This instrument was built with harmony in mind — literally. Using two pressure sensors and two flex sensors, it lets me shape layered, evolving harmonies through motion and touch. Each sensor controls individual notes or harmonic movements, turning physical gestures into sound in real time.
That focus on harmony reflects who I am as an artist. (natameley on all streaming platforms) As a singer-songwriter, I’ve always gravitated toward building textures — blending voices, stacking parts, finding emotion in the in-between spaces. Whether I’m in the studio recording late-night vocal layers or experimenting with sensor input, it’s all about spontaneity, feeling, and the freedom to create in the moment.
