This interdisciplinary project, combining scientific, technological and artistic methods, proposes three crucial topics for future development of multimodal devices:
1. the importance of action-sound couplings for both performance and perception of music
2. the control potential of human bodily movement
3. a move towards an active music experience
These topics will be explored through experiments, observation studies and modelling of action-sound couplings; and prototyping of enactive media devices.
Sensing Music-related Actions is a joint research project of the departments of Musicology and Informatics, and has received external funding through the VERDIKT program of the The Research Council of Norway. The project runs from July 2008 until July 2011.
