Abstract:

This paper presents ongoing work into the design of interfaces for live musical performance using gesture controlled sound spatialization. In particular, we dis- cuss the use of performer’s gestures to allow them to manipulate spatialization parameters without their conscious control. A number of motion capture sessions involving a cello performer are described through which we determined a set of gesture parameters which are useful for this purpose. We also present our implementation of a wireless accelerometer system to allow control of spatialization parameters using cello performer gestures. Finally, we provide some guidelines for succesfully mapping gesture control to sound spatialization parameters.
