In a series about music, instruments and performances: An Interview with Alison Balsom There is presently no orchestral musical instrument than can be played with one hand. As a result hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities in the UK, and millions across the world, are excluded from music making. The One-Handed Musical Instrument Trust are working to create new instruments to open full and undifferentiated participation in musical life; whether at school, in the home, or in a professional ensemble. Our success will have a profound impact not just on individuals but on society's relationship with disability, opening new realms of achievement and possibility. The OHMI Trust is challenging technologists, inventors, instrument makers, and anyone else who would like to have a go, to design and build one-handed instruments that can emulate any of those used in the classical orchestra. The best will be awarded the world's most prestigious prize for creative technology, a Prix Ars Electronica.
