Gesture and Musical Interaction : Interactive Engagement Through Dynamic Morphology

Garth Paine

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract:

New Interfaces for Musical Expression must speak to the nature of 'instrument', that is, it must always be understood that the interface binds to a complex musical phenomenon. This paper explores the nature of engagement, the point of performance that occurs when a human being engages with a computer based instrument. It asks questions about the nature of the instrument in computer music and offers some conceptual models for the mapping of gesture to sonic outcomes.
