Hey, what IS that thing?
An Electronic Wind Instrument, or EWI, is a device which allows a
musician to use breath, bite pressure and various touch-sensitive
controls to send signals to one or more MIDI synthesizers, thereby
producing a musical performance.
I recently had the privilege of playing EWI on "La Da Da", one of
the songs on the latest CD from
Crossed Hearts.
Here is a clip (.wav, 1.1M).
More information about the EWI and other MIDI Wind instruments can be
found at
windsynth.org and
