The integral Music controller: Introducing a Direct Emotional Interface to gestural control of sound synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the concept of the integral music controller (IMC), a controller that combines gestural interface with direct emotional control of a digital musical instrument. This new controller enables the performer to move smoothly between direct physical interaction with an acoustical musical instrument, and gestural/emotional control of the instrument’s physical model. The use of physiological signals to determine gesture and emotion is an important component of the IMC. The design of a wireless IMC using physiological signals is described and possible mappings to sound synthesis parameters are explored. Controlling higher level musical systems such as conducting and style modelling is also proposed.

Performer-instrument Interaction: Applications to Gestural Control of Sound Synthesis
This thesis presents the analysis of performer-instrument interaction with applications to gestural control of sound synthesis. This goal is achieved with a two-pronged approach: a) the study of a generic digital musical instrument (DMI), its constituent parts, and the suggestion of novel approaches to its design, and b) the analysis of acoustic instrument performances with the aim of eventuall...
متن کاملThe MATRIX: A Novel Controller for Musical Expression
The MATRIX (Multipurpose Array of Tactile Rods for Interactive eXpression) is a new musical interface for amateurs and professionals alike. It gives users a 3dimensional tangible interface to control music using their hands, and can 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 acts as a real-t...
متن کاملAn accelerometer based gestural capture system for performer based music composition
Previous studies by research groups in the field of music technology have resulted in a variety of gestural capture systems that enable various levels of interaction and control in the generation of sound. The majority of approaches developed to date have focused on direct control of synthesis parameters. More recently there has been a move toward a higher level of abstraction in which performe...

متن کاملA Component Model of Gestural Primitive Throughput
This paper suggests that there is a need for formalizing a component model of gestural primitive throughput in music instrument design. The purpose of this model is to construct a coherent and meaningful interaction between performer and instrument. Such a model has been implicit in previous research for interactive performance systems. The model presented here distinguishes gestural primitives...
