Composition for Ubiquitous Responsive Sound Environments

As new forms of social interaction with sound are developed through hardware, software and ubiquitous technologies it follows that emergent behavior, gesture capture and motion tracking will increasingly play a compositional role within generative and reactive sound environments. This case study defines an adaptive system, which enables participants within these spaces to have a tangible influence on the compositional process. Both individual and collaborative interaction modes are considered in the context of generative and real time systems, which are dynamically affected by user presence.
