Looking for mobile music projects
|
The series of annual workshops explore how devices such as mobile phones or mp3 players, combined with ad hoc networking, Internet connection, and context-awareness, mobile music technology can give rise to new artistic, commercial and socio-cultural opportunities for music creation, listening and sharing. This year Lalya Gaye and Atau Tanaka have asked me to give the final keynote. My role will be to "observe" the activities of workshop, and then situate them in the context of the rest of the techology/art/culture world. Alas! as i know too well, my knowledge has its limits and this time again i'd like to ask you if you have heard of any artist, researcher or hacker whose works that push forward mobile music technology. I could use some of your suggestions while preparing my talk and blog them as well. Let us know about your ideas in the comments or email me at the address that appears at the top of the blog's sidebar. Related: Turbulence's new blog: Networked_music review.

At first, I think about Electroplankton made by Toshio Iwai...
Good luck for your keynote!
Hey Regine,
you might want to look at the work of Gil Weinberg and the Music Technology Group at Georgia Tech.
They're doing some very cool stuff, like:
Brainwaves
A sonification installation that allows a group of players to interact with an auditory display of neural activity.
Haile
A perceptual robotic percussionist that can listen to live players, analyze their music in real-time, and use the product of this analysis to play back in an improvisational manner.
Beatbugs
players can record live input from acoustic and MIDI instruments and respond by transforming the recorded material in real time, creating motif-and-variation call-and-response routines on the fly.
(Gil's also one of my oldest friends in the universe)

oops, maybe one of the organizers shoudln't be stepping in here, but nice and heartening to see these suggestions - IMPROVe was actually presented at last year's MMW in Brighton (see archives on the MWW site). And Gil W presented Haile at NIME06 (www.nime.org) this year. The 2nd MMW was during NIME05 in Vancouver. So it all goes around, but these comments keep it expanding and not ingrowing ;-) AT
