e-String is an homebuilt string instrument. The instrument with electromagnetic bows (e-bow) piloted from the computer, using Max/MSP for the control. Associated with pickups and contact microphones, the strings sounds are amplified and processed (always on Max/MSP). 

The computer control of electronic bows offers special playing and sound modes: rhythm, continuous sound, short impulse with/containing clear pitched or not, and also various behaviors related to computer control and transformations. 

The instrument allow experiences between electronic thought and acoustic sound qualities (related to physical acoustic string vibrations).

Max is used to control the behavior and the rythm of the installation, from the first crakles until the release of the light as the aurora; it control the intensity of the video (and talking to Millumin software for the mapping) and the sound (velocity, pitch and spacialisation from one glass bell to another glass bell).

The code is based on three factors: excitement, temporality and balance, confering behavior unique for each viewer.
