Fire. He\u2019d been hit by a Molotov cocktail. In a split second, he and the tank were engulfed in flames. Panic. \u201cI just lost control,\u201d Hinett explains. \u201cThere was no human thought behind what I could do, other than survive. \u201dSomehow, he managed to pull himself out and onto the ground. Blackness.<\/p>\n<p>At a field hospital, he was put into a medically induced coma.

Only it wasn\u2019t a guitar \u2013 it was a button. Inside that button was an orchestra which could be tuned with a tap. He and a group of fellow injured veterans gathered inside a studio custom-built for their needs, where they found within themselves an ability they thought they\u2019d lost forever.<\/p>\n<p>It matters not how straight the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll&#8230; Early on in his recovery, Hinett found that pushing himself past his limits gave him a surprising boost, both mentally and physically.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t feed myself. I literally couldn\u2019t do anything,\u201d he explains. \u201cI could barely walk, but I kept building on that, because every time I did it, I was getting a bit stronger, and that was something I had control of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To stay motivated, he promised himself that he would do something he hadn\u2019t done before his injury. And less than two years after his accident, with his arms still heavily bandaged, he completed the London Marathon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div\n    id=\"block_6a2f6f74ac9d4\"\n    class=\"spacer spacer-2 spacer-mobile-1\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div\n    id=\"block_d9253fb3ca78ae26d52a9070d78873af\"\n    class=\"media-block transition--media\">\n    \n<div class=\"unlocked-media media-image js-media-image\">\n                        <picture class=\"\">\n                                <img\n            src=\"https:\/\/2.zoppoz.workers.dev:443\/https\/unlocked.microsoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/INVICTUS-BODY-COPY-IMAGE-KARL-ADAPTIVE-CONTROLLER-jpg-webp.webp\"\n                                    width=\"720\"\n            height=\"936\"\n                        class=\"ratio--4-5\"\n            alt=\"Karl Hinett with the adaptive controller\"\n            loading=\"lazy\"\n            decoding=\"async\" \/>\n            <\/picture>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div\n    id=\"block_6a2f6f74b9127\"\n    class=\"spacer spacer-4 spacer-mobile-2\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"https:\/\/2.zoppoz.workers.dev:443\/http\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-header-xsmall-font-size is-block-default transition--in-up\" id=\"h-invictus-games-is-an-international-sporting-event-for-wounded-injured-and-sick-servicemen-and-women-both-serving-and-veterans\">Invictus Games is an international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veterans.<\/h2>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n\n\n<div\n    id=\"block_6a2f6f74b94f6\"\n    class=\"rich-text transition--in-up \">\n    <p>And in 2018 he represented the UK in three running events at the Invictus Games \u2014 the international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick (WIS) service members founded by Prince Harry.

The team has collaborated with academia, artists and members of the disability community to prototype experiences that enable live performance, composition, and musical collaboration for musicians of all abilities.<\/p>\n<p>We already knew we had a wheelchair you can drive with your eyes,\u201d she says. \u201cHow do you do a drum roll?<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few years, the Hands-Free Music team has created an eye-controlled step sequencer, which allows users to both program and loop a melody or rhythm track, a synthesizer that can be played from a keyboard or touch screen, as well as with ones eyes, and the Galactic Bell Star, an inclusive, expressive set of tubular bells that can be played with a number of alternate inputs. They also built a suite of bespoke, MIDI-based software interfaces that pair with adapted controllers, like buttons and joysticks, to allow musicians to control music expression.
