Multisensory experiences for singers: a first tangible prototype
Pages 983 - 988
Abstract
When performing a piece of music, body, senses, and cognition are strictly connected to each other. This connection, however, is not always particularly evident. As a consequence, it is extremely important for musicians to be able to control their performance by relying on other sensorial modalities that complement the auditory cue. Sight, in particular, is paramount for most instrumentalists as it helps learning new techniques, recognising errors, correcting expressiveness, and memorize complex passages. As opposed to other musicians, singers can almost exclusively rely on the auditory feedback coming from their voice to adjust their singing. Starting from this statement, we conduct a user study to find possible solutions to provide singers with further feedback during their performance. This paper is a preliminary study in this direction.
