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 ...

This paper presents a comparison of different configurations of a wireless sensor system for capturing human motion. The systems consist of sensor elements which wirelessly transfers motion data to a receiver element. The ...

We report on the development of a video based analysis system that controls concatenative sound synthesis and sound spatialisation in realtime in concert performances. The system has been used in several pieces, most ...

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 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 ...

We report on a study of perceptual and acoustic features related to the placement of microphones around a custom made glass instrument. Different microphone setups were tested: above, inside and outside the instrument and ...

The paper reports on the development of prototypes of glass instruments. The focus has been on developing acoustic instruments specifically designed for electronic treatment, and where timbral qualities have had priority ...

The paper addresses possibilities of extracting information from music-related actions, in the particular case of what we call sound-tracings. These tracings are recordings from a graphics tablet of subjects' drawings ...

Tremolo is usually regarded as belonging to the domain of note embellishments. Rapid tremolo, taken into the audio range, is an interesting synthesis technique which is related to FMand granular synthesis. We present a ...

Based on innumerable informal accounts and a number of scientific studies, there can be no doubt that people often have quite vivid images of musical sound in their minds, and that this is the case regardless of levels of ...

The “PoumTchak” pattern is a rhythmic pattern consisting of a continuous alternation between bass drum and hi-hat sounds. It forms the basic rhythmic structure in myriads of dance music tracks. This suggests a connection ...

This chapter starts with a review of some current definitions of "gesture". The second part presents a conceptual framework for differentiating various functional aspects of gestures in music performance. The third part ...

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 ...
