Creating tangible spatial-musical images from physical performance gestures
نویسنده
چکیده
Electroacoustic music has a longstanding relationship with gesture and space. This paper marks the start of a project investigating acousmatic spatial imagery, real gestural behaviour and ultimately the formation of tangible acousmatic images. These concepts are explored experimentally using motion tracking in a source-sound recording context, interactive parameter-mapping sonification in threedimensional high-order ambisonics, composition and performance. The spatio-musical role of physical actions in relation to instrument excitation is used as a point of departure for embodying physical spatial gestures in the creative process. The work draws on how imagery for music is closely linked with imagery for music-related actions.

Investigations in Coarticulated Performance Gestures Using Interactive Parameter-mapping 3d Sonification
Spatial imagery is one focus of electroacoustic music, more recently advanced by 3D audio furnishing new avenues for exploring spatio-musical structures and addressing what can be called a tangible acousmatic experience. In this paper we present new insights into spatial, temporal and sounding coarticulated (contextually smeared) gestures by applying interactive parameter-mapping sonification i...

This paper describes the implementation of Time Delay Neural Networks (TDNN) to recognize gestures from video images. Video sources are used because they are non-invasive and do not inhibit performer's physical movement or require specialist devices to be attached to the performer which experience has shown to be a significant problem that impacts musicians performance and can focus musical reh...

The MATRIX (Multipurpose Array of Tactile Rods for Interactive eXpression) is a new musical instrument for amateurs and professionals alike. It gives musicians a 3dimensional tangible interface to control music using their hand(s), and can either be used in conjunction with a traditional musical instrument and a microphone, or as a stand-alone gestural input device. The surface of the MATRIX ac...

The multi-touch music table is a novel tabletop tangible interface for expressive musical performance. User touches the picture projected on the table glass surface to perform music. User can click, drag or use various multi-touch gestures with fingers to perform music expressively. The picture color, luminosity, size, finger gesture and pressure determine the music output. The table detects up...
متن کاملTangible Scores: Shaping the Inherent Instrument Score
Tangible Scores are a new paradigm for musical instrument design with a physical configuration inspired by graphic scores. In this paper we will focus on the design aspects of this new interface as well as on some of the related technical details. Creating an intuitive, modular and expressive instrument for textural music was the primary driving force. Following these criteria, we literally inc...
