The Emonator: A Novel Musical Interface
نویسندگان
چکیده
This thesis will discuss the technical and artistic design of the Emonator', a novel interactive musical interface which responds to gestural input with realtime aural and visual feedback. A user interacts with the Emonator by manipulating the surface formed by a bed of rods at the top of the Emonator. The user's movements are analyzed and used to control several music and sound generation engines as well as video streams in real-time. The Emonator is an interesting musical experience for both amateur and professional musicians. It is also versatile, working well as a stand-alone interface or as part of a larger interactive experience.

Tangible Sound: Musical Instrument Using Fluid Media
In this paper, we introduce “ Tangible Sound,” a musical instrument with a novel user interface that uses water. Like music, fluids cannot be physically grasped because their shape is constantly changing. We thus believe that water is a suitable interface for performing flowing music. We created a live, hands-on installation that uses the flow of water as an input medium to control the intuitiv...
متن کاملFormation interface detection using Gamma Ray log: A novel approach
There are two methods for identifying formation interface in oil wells: core analysis, which is a precise approach but costly and time consuming, and well logs analysis, which petrophysists perform, which is subjective and not completely reliable. In this paper, a novel coupled method was proposed to detect the formation interfaces using GR logs. Second approximation level (a2) of GR log gained...
متن کاملImplicit Brain-Computer Interaction Applied to a Novel Adaptive Musical Interface
We present a novel brain-computer interface (BCI) integrated with a musical instrument that adapts passively to users’ changing cognitive state during musical improvisation. Traditionally, musical BCIs have been divided into camps: those that use some mapping of brainwaves to create audio signals; and those that use explicit brain signals to control some aspect of the music. Neither of these sy...
متن کاملBraahms: a novel adaptive musical interface based on users' cognitive state
We present a novel brain-computer interface (BCI) integrated with a musical instrument that adapts implicitly (with no extra effort from user) to users’ changing cognitive state during musical improvisation. Most previous musical BCI systems use either a mapping of brainwaves to create audio signals or use explicit brain signals to control some aspect of the music. Such systems do not take adva...
متن کاملThe G-Spring Controller
This paper presents a novel digital musical instrument using an interface constructed from a large spring that offers natural kinesthetic feedback through its inherent stiffness. The design of the first prototype is described and discussed in relation to the notion of effort in musical performance. Audio feedback and distortion are introduced as a possible way to extend the musical limits of th...
