Abstract

This paper presents our new system Mappe per Affetti Erranti (literally Maps for Wandering Affects), enabling a novel paradigm for social active experience and dynamic molding of expressive content of a music piece. Mappe per Affetti Erranti allows multiple users to interact with the music piece at several levels. On the one hand, multiple users can physically navigate a polyphonic music piece, actively exploring it; on the other hand they can intervene on the music performance modifying and molding its expressive content in real-time through fullbody movement and gesture. An implementation of Mappe per Affetti Erranti was presented in the framework of the science exhibition "Metamorfosi del Senso", held at Casa Paganini, Genova, in October -- November 2007. In that occasion Mappe per Affetti Erranti was also used for a contemporary dance performance. The research topics addressed in Mappe per Affetti Erranti are currently investigated in the new EU-ICT Project SAME (Sound and Music for Everyone, Everyday, Everywhere, Every Way, www.sameproject.eu).
