Abstract:

We present our work with augmented everyday objectstransformed into sound sources for music generation. The idea isto give voice to objects through technology. More specifically, theparadigm of the birth of musical instruments as a sonification ofobjects used in domestic or work everyday environments is hereconsidered and transposed into the technologically augmentedscenarios of our contemporary world.
