Considering Audience's View Towards an Evaluation Methodology for Digital Musical Instruments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors propose the development of a more complete Digital Music Instrument (DMI) evaluation methodology, which provides structured tools for the incremental development of prototypes based on user feedback. This paper emphasizes an important but often ignored stakeholder present in the context of musical performance: the audience. We demonstrate the practical application of an audience focused methodology through a case study (‘Illusio’), discuss the obtained results and possible improvements for future works.

Mapping Transparency through Metaphor: Towards More Expressive Musical Instruments
We define a two-axis transparency framework that can be used as a predictor of the expressivity of a musical device. One axis is the player's transparency scale, while the other is the audience's transparency scale. Through consideration of both traditional instrumentation and new technology-driven interfaces, we explore the role that metaphor plays in developing expressive devices. Metaphor de...
متن کاملErgonomic Music: Where Does it Fit In?
In this paper we present the idea of ergonomic instruments: musical devices that focus on minimising the learning curve of musicians by mapping inherent musical actions to the creation of music. We situate ergonomic instruments in the context of existing relevant work, and then discuss a new methodology towards the development of musical instruments including exploration of a musical goal which...
متن کاملTowards a New Conceptual Framework for Digital Musical Instruments
This paper describes the adaptation of an existing model of human information processing for the categorization of digital musical instruments in terms of performance context and behavior. It further presents a visualization intended to aid the analysis of existing DMIs and the design of new devices. Three new interfaces constructed by the authors are examined within this framework to illustrat...
متن کاملComputer-based approaches to music research
The digital information era has had a substantial impact on the way music is consumed and produced, and in a relatively short time has revolutionized the music industry and culture. For instance, music stores have almost disappeared, and have been replaced by digital shopping malls, digital music repositories, and social media networks. The mass digitization of music now offers opportunities to...
متن کاملDiscovering instruments in scores: a repertoire-driven approach to designing new interfaces for musical expression
This paper situates NIME practice with respect to models of social interaction among human agents. It argues that the conventional model of composer-performer-listener, and the underlying mid-20 century metaphor of music as communication upon which it relies, cannot reflect the richness of interaction and possibility afforded by interactive digital technologies. Building on Paul Lansky’s vision...
