Scarf ends up controlling a piano

Technology and clothing do not seem to be good bedfellows, don't you think so. Well, electronic music composer Jeff Bryant must have grown up wondering whether learning how to knit would end up being part of his graduate coursework at California Institute of the Arts. However, he was challenged by his interface design instructor to come up with a non-boring MIDI controller device in fall last year, and Bryant discovered that red yarn could be his unlikely ally. Bryant managed to weave conductive thread into the yarn, and decided that he could manipulate the fiber in order to control a musical instrument.
