Indirection between movement and sound in an interactive sound installation

Published: 14 August 2015 Publication History

Abstract

We present a new interactive sound installation to be explored by movement, specifically by the movement qualities extracted from the motion tracking data. There is an indirection between movement and sound: movement qualities control a dynamical system (in our case a flock of agents), which in turn controls the visual and sonic feedback of the interface. The movement qualities are extracted by simple measures. The system is implemented, evaluated, and will be demonstrated during MOCO'15.
