This paper reviews models of the ways in which performer instrumental actions can be
linked to sound synthesis parameters. We analyse available literature on both acoustical …

In this paper, we introduce and analyze four gesture-controlled musical instruments. We
briefly discuss the test platform designed to allow for rapid experimentation of new interfaces …

This paper reports the results of an experimental study of human latency tolerance for
gestural sound control without tactile feedback. 16 subjects played a Theremin that was …

The ideas explored here are based on questioning some common assumptions in the usual
conceptual models of hybrid (NIME-style) instrument design, and thinking and playing …

This paper presents a novel interaction paradigm to support musical performance using
spatial audio. This method reduces the interface bottleneck between artistic intent and …

In this paper we describe an interaction framework which classifies musicians interactions
with virtual musical instruments into three modes: instrumental, ornamental and …

The paper reports results from an experimental study quantifying how latency affects the
playing accuracy of two continuous sound instruments. 11 subjects played a conventional …

Sonification is an open-ended design task to construct sound informing a listener of data.
Understanding application context is critical for shaping design requirements for data …

This thesis investigates the use of multidimensional control of synthesis parameters in
electronic music, and the impact of controller mapping techniques on creativity. The …

This paper suggests that there is a need for formalizing a component model of gestural
primitive throughput in music instrument design. The purpose of this model is to construct a …
