Abstract

We present Zstretch, a textile music controller that supports expressive haptic interactions. The musical controller takes advantage of the fabric's topological constraints to enable proportional control of musical parameters. This novel interface explores ways in which one might treat music as a sheet of cloth. This paper proposes an approach to engage simple technologies for supporting ordinary hand interactions. We show that this combination of basic technology with general tactile movements can result in an expressive musical interface.

A generative physical model approach for enhancing the stroke palette for robotic drummers

Achieving human-like musical expressivity in musical robots has been a long standing goal for roboticists and musicians who work in the emerging field of robotic musicianship. In robotic drumming, a major subfield of robotic musicianship, research ...
Analyzing musical expressivity with a soft computing approach

In this paper we present our research on the design of a tool to analyze musical expressivity. Musical expressivity is a human activity difficult to model computationally because of its nature: implicitly acquired by musicians through a long process of ...
The augmentalist: enabling musicians to develop augmented musical instruments
