Control (The Magician) is a 61 key reed organ that still functions as a pump organ, but has been modified to split broadcast television signals into a five-part, twelve channel audiovisual system controlled by the keyboard. The instrument processes audio and video signals through antennas and digital TV tuners. Two octaves of the keyboard (the first and fifth) send video signals from the digital tuners to seven monitors, creating an interference - as the monitors are receiving constant CCTV surveillance feeds. Three octaves of the keyboard (the second, third, and fourth) control audio signals. The second and fourth octaves are sent through effects processors, lowering the pitch of the audio in the second octave and raising the pitch in the fourth. All three octaves are fed from the stereo out DTT901 digital television tuners, split through the reed organ keyboard, and playback through stereo speakers on either side of the reed organ.
