For many, the pursuit and enjoyment of musical performance goes hand-in-hand with collaborative creativity, whether in a choir, jazz combo, orchestra, or rock band. However, few musical interfaces use the affordances of ...

Synchronisation is an important part of collaborative music systems, and with such systems implemented on mobile devices, the implementation of algorithms for synchronisation without central control becomes increasingly ...

We present Funky Sole Music, a musical interface employing a sole embedded with three force sensitive resistors in combination with a novel algorithm for continuous movement classification. A heuristics-based music engine ...

Touch-screen musical performance has become commonplace since the widespread adoption of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. However, mobile digital musical instruments are rarely designed to emphasise collaborative ...

MicroJam is a mobile app for sharing tiny touch-screen performances. Mobile applications that streamline creativity and social interaction have enabled a very broad audience to develop their own creative practices. While ...

In this paper, we present an open source partial reconfiguration (PR) system which is designed for portability and usability serving as a reference for engineers and students interested in using the advanced reconfiguration ...

Generating convincing music via deep neural networks is a challenging problem that shows promise for many applications including interactive musical creation. One part of this challenge is the problem of generating convincing ...

A robot moving in the home is a new experience for most people. Classifying the different ways that humans and robots move together can help in designing interactions. In this paper, we first put robots’ movements into two ...

This paper describes the process of developing a standstill performance work using the Myo gesture control armband and the Bela embedded computing platform. The combination of Myo and Bela allows a portable and extensible ...

This work proposes a novel facial expression recognition approach to contribute to better human-machine interactions. To do that, edge features in facial expression images are combined with a recurrent neural network (RNN) ...
