Designing for Style in New Musical Interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we discuss the concept of style, focusing in particular on methods of designing new instruments that facilitate the cultivation and recognition of style. We distinguish between style and structure of an interaction and discuss the significance of this formulation within the context of NIME. Two workshops that were conducted to explore style in interaction design are described, from which we identify elements of style that can inform and influence the design process. From these, we suggest steps toward designing for style in new musical interactions.

Designing Digital Musical Interactions in Experimental Contexts
As NIME’s focus has expanded beyond the design reports which were pervasive in the early days to include studies and experiments involving music control devices, we report on a particular area of activity that has been overlooked: designs of music devices in experimental contexts. We demonstrate this is distinct from designing for artistic performances, with a unique set of novel challenges. A ...

This article presents observations and strategies for designing gamelike elements for expressive mobile musical interactions. The designs of several popular commercial mobile music instruments are discussed and compared, along with the different ways they integrate musical information and game-like elements. In particular, issues of designing goals, rules, and interactions are balanced with art...
متن کاملExperiments with a musical machine: musical style replication in 3–5-year-old children
The relationship between new technology and learning is gaining increasing relevance in the field of music education (Webster, 2002; Folkestad et al., 1998). However, only a few studies have considered the nature of the interaction between children and musical machines. This article describes an observation study of children aged 3–5 years confronting a particular interactive musical system, th...
متن کاملTouch Screen Collaborative Music: Designing NIME for Older People with Dementia
This paper presents new touch-screen collaborative music interaction for people with dementia. The authors argue that dementia technology has yet to focus on collaborative multiuser group musical interactions. The project aims to contribute to dementia care while addressing a significant gap in current literature. Two trials explore contrasting musical scenarios: the performance of abstract ele...
متن کاملStudying Aesthetics of Interaction in a Musical Interface Design Process Through ‘Aesthetic Experience Prism’
This paper introduces ‘The Aesthetic Experience Prism’, a framework for studying how components of aesthetic experience materialize in the model’s of interaction of novel musical interfaces as well as how the role of aesthetics could be made more explicit in the processes of designing interaction for musical technologies. The Aesthetic Experience Prism makes use of Arthur Danto’s framework of a...
