Translating Dance movement into Musical rhythm in Real Time: New Possibilities for Computer-Mediated Collaboration in Interactive Dance Performance
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, I describe the theoretical background that led to the creation of software for interactive dance performance that interprets rhythm in dance movement as musical rhythm. This software was implemented as a library of external objects for Max/MSP[12] that processes data from an object or library that performs frame-differencing analysis of a video stream in real time in this programming environment. After describing the main aspects that establish the relationship between movement in dance and musical rhythm, I explain how the software implements this knowledge, and briefly describe the creative work done so far utilizing this software.

The M-Objects: a Small Library for Musical rhythm Generation and Musical Tempo control from Dance movement in Real Time
This software library allows a dancer to control the tempo of an electronically-generated music score, and/or to generate musical rhythmic structures from bodily movement in real time in interactive dance performance. The movement data is gathered non-invasively, using a fixed video camera placed outside the area in which the dancer is moving. This library is implemented as a set of external ob...
متن کاملChoreoGraphics: An Authoring Tool for Dance Shows
This work describes a computer system for authoring dance shows. The system can be used both as a mechanism to synthesize virtual group performances and as a tool for interactive design and visualization of real choreographies. To this end, we use as input motion capture of dance sequences that are synchronized with an underlying musical composition. We adapt motion synthesis methods for use in...

In 1998 we designed enabling technology and a venue concept that allowed several participants to influence a shared musical and visual experience. Our primary goal was to deliver musically coherent and visually satisfying results from several participants' input. The result, the Interactive Dance Club, ran for four nights at the ACM SIGGRPAH 98 convention in Orlando, Florida. In this paper we w...
