Abstract:

In this paper we describe work in progress on generative music generation on multi-touch devices. Our goal is to create a musical application framework for multiple casual users that use state of the art multitouch devices. We choose the metaphor of ants moving on a hexagonal grid to interact with a pitch pattern. The set of devices used includes a custom built multitouch table and a number of iPhones to jointly create musical expressions.
