The Music Ball Project: Concept, Design, Development, Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the Music Ball Project, a longterm, exploratory project focused on creating novel instruments/controllers with a spherical shape as the common denominator. Besides a simple and attractive geometrical shape, balls afford many different types of use, including play. This has made our music balls popular among widely different groups of people, from toddlers to seniors, including those that would not otherwise engage with a musical instrument. The paper summarises our experience of designing, constructing and using a number of music balls of various sizes and with different types of sound-producing elements.

The Bluetooth Radio Ball Interface (BRBI): A Wireless Interface for Music/Sound Control And Motion Sonification
The Bluetooth Radio Ball Interface (BRBI) is a wireless interface for motion tracking and sonification. The device is embedded in a palm sized foam ball. A 3-dimensional sensor with a Bluetooth module seated in the center of the ball transmits acceleration/tilt measurement data to a computer. Data is then converted into Open Sound Control messages for use with other applications. This paper pre...
