<br><br>What:
The workshop offers an hands-on experience and both theoretical and
practical training in gestural control of music and bodily musical
performance, deploying the brand-new biosensing technology Xth
Sense.
<br>Developed by the workshop teacher Marco Donnarumma within a research project at The University of Edinburgh,
Xth Sense is a framework for the application of muscle sounds to the biophysical generation and control of music.
<br>It consists of a low cost, DIY biosensing wearable device and an Open Source based software for capture,
analysis and audio processing of biological sounds of the body (Pure Data-based).
Muscle sounds are captured in real time and used both as sonic source
material and control values for sound effects, enabling the performer
to control music simply with his body and kinetic energy.
The Xth Sense biosensor was designed to be easily implemented by anyone,
no previous experience in electronics is required.
The applications of the Xth Sense technology are manifold: from complex
gestural control of samples and audio synthesis, through biophysical
generation of music and sounds, to kinetic control of real time
digital processing of traditional musical instruments, and more.
