Gesture - Music

چکیده
In this article, we comment on various definitions of the term gesture in the general literature of humanhuman and human-computer interaction and in the musica domain. Different propositions of gesture classifications are then discussed and topics from other disciplines, that are important to the discussion on gesture and music, are presented. Concepts developed by the first author related to instrumental gestures, such as energy continuum, gestural channel, and instrumental gesture typology are reviewed in this context. The introduction of case studies on acoustic instruments helps in supporting the theory. Finally, the role of non-obvious (ancillary or accompanist) gestures is discussed with respect to clarinet playing.

A Method for Computer characterization of "Gesture" in Musical Improvisation
In the design of interactive computer music systems and the composition of interactive computer music, the tracking and analysis of musical "gestures" — characteristic motions discerned within musical attributes — provides a promising challenge. There are in fact ways that one can clearly and empirically define and identify "gesture" in musical content, often with conceptual models and tools si...
متن کاملMultimodal Analysis of Expressive Gesture in Music and Dance Performances
This paper presents ongoing research on the modelling of expressive gesture in multimodal interaction and on the development of multimodal interactive systems explicitly taking into account the role of non-verbal expressive gesture in the communication process. In this perspective, a particular focus is on dance and music as first-class conveyors of expressive and emotional content. Research ou...
متن کاملA Summary of Formats for Streaming and Storing Music-Related Movement and Gesture data
This paper summarises a panel discussion at the 2007 International Computer Music Conference on movement and gesture data formats, presents some of the formats currently in development in the computer music community, and outlines some of the challenges involved in future development.
متن کاملKontrol: Hand Gesture Recognition for Music and Dance Interaction
This paper describes Kontrol, a new hand interface that extends the intuitive control of electronic music to traditional instrumentalist and dancers. The goal of the authors has been to provide users with a device that is capable of detecting the highly intricate and expressive gestures of the master performer, in order for that information to be interpreted and used for control of electronic m...
متن کاملGenerative Improv. & Interactive Music Project (GIIMP)
GIIMP addresses the criticism that in many interactive music systems the machine simply reacts. Interaction is addressed by extending Winkler’s [18] model toward adapting Paine’s [10] conversational model of interaction. Realized using commercial tools, GIIMP implements a machine/human generative improvisation system using human gesture input, machine gesture capture, and a gesture mutation mod...
متن کاملJuggling Gestures Analysis for Music Control
The aim of this work is to provide jugglers with gestural control of music. This is based on the willing to control music by recycling mastered gestures generated by another art. Therefore we propose the use of a gestural acquisition system based on the processing of the electromyographic signal. The recordings are done during a three-ball cascade, of electromyogram from chosen muscles, which p...
