This paper describes the conceptualization and development of an open source tool for controlling the sound of a saxophone via the gestures of its performer. The motivation behind this work is the need for easy access tools to explore, compose and perform electroacoustic music in Colombian music schools and conservatories.

Primarily, this work allows the administrators and the owners to exercise more control over their resources by dictating usage permissions and/or restrictions in a grid environment. This mechanism is independent of the applications ...
