Abstract:

In this paper we describe a prototype system for haptic notifications in the context of music performance with live electronics. In current practice there is typically no physical connection between the human performer and the live electronics system, breaking the action-perception loop, which can render performers insecure. Leveraging re- cent work in the field of tactile notification we aim at closing this loop by communicating information from the live electronics system to the performer via the haptic channel. We present a prototype tactile synthesizer, embedded in a Max-based modular software framework for live electronics, titled CLEF (CIRMMT Live Electronics Framework). Tac- tile notifications can thus become an integral part of a musical score and communicate information to performers, allowing for tighter interaction with the live electronics system.
