In this video, multimedia Italian collective FUKO performs PlayingBooks – a piece using books for controllers and sounds.
Here’s what they have to say about the technical details:
At the right side the books are used as midi controllers ( via Bare conductive – arduino – max/msp and ableton live) and at the left side the books, used as percussions, are mic and processed via Ableton Live and max for live _ everything was made in real time, recorded inside ableton live and than mixed always inside Live _ no editing

will it work with e-books?
