The paper presents Nymophone2, an acoustic instrument with a complex relationship between performance actions and emergent sound. A method for describing the multidimensional control actions needed to play the instrument ...

The purpose of this Short-Term Scientific Mission has been to investigate the use of the Sound Description Interchange Format (SDIF) as a container format for Gesture Description Interchange Format (GDIF) recordings. Much ...

Technical report from pilot studies in the Sensing Music-related Actions group. The report presents simple motion sensor technology and issues regarding pre-processing of music-related motion data. In cognitive music ...

The paper reports on the development and activities in the recently established fourMs lab (Music, Mind, Motion, Machines) at the University of Oslo, Norway. As a meeting place for researchers in music and informatics, the ...

This thesis presents documentation, theory and evaluation of the musical instrument "Nymophone2". The Nymophone2 was made as the practical part of this two-part master's project. The main goal of the thesis is to investigate ...

In this paper we present a method for studying relationships between features of sound and features of movement. The method has been tested by carrying out an experiment with people moving an object in space along with ...

The paper presents some challenges faced in developing an experimental setup for studying coarticulation in music-related body movements. This has included solutions for storing and synchronising motion capture, biosensor ...

The paper presents a conceptual overview of how optical infrared marker based motion capture systems (IrMoCap) can be used in musical interaction. First we present a review of related work of using IrMoCap for musical ...

The MYO armband from Thalmic Labs is a complete and wireless motion and muscle sensing platform. This paper evaluates the armband’s sensors and its potential for NIME applications. This is followed by a presentation of the ...

In our own and other research on music-related actions, findings suggest that perceived action and sound are broken down into a series of chunks in people’s minds when they perceive or imagine music. Chunks are here ...
