Abstract

The authors propose the development of a more complete Digital Music Instrument (DMI) evaluation methodology, which provides structured tools for the incremental development of prototypes based on user feedback. This paper emphasizes an important but often ignored stakeholder present in the context of musical performance: the audience. We demonstrate the practical application of an audience focused methodology through a case study (`Illusio'), discuss the obtained results and possible improvements for future works.
