Those of you with limited electronics education should know that the learning curve to use Arduino is not that steep. Of course many varieties of this system can be made for more elaborate dance pieces and other such performances.

Message-ID: Toni Dove uses a similar tool, minus the lasers, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T60KFho8d_A. It doesn't go too in depth, but it's a harp-like-shaped instrument, that has infrared sensors. There are enough IR sensors to get a read on both the X and Y position of her hands inside of the harp. This allows her to scrub through video. A bit of logic coded into an arduino microcontroller, to parse through the raw data that the sensors provide, and then a whole lot more logic in a max/msp patch to interface that data with what needs to be controlled can build something along the same lines.

Message-ID: Hello Boris Thank you for the link. I suggest to some of our genius musicians here to look at this board as well: http://beagleboard.org/bone This one runs UNIX and all the necessary software that is needed to make serious applications. Again the knwoledge of hardware engineering is kept to minimal. I think this board and Arduino can revolutionize the live-performance systems for innovative musicians in all genre.

Message-ID: Dear Boris I am planning to use that board for Neural Network computing, I already did some applications for something totally different than music, and it worked accurately. But while I was coding that project, it dawned on me that the Neural Network adaptive learning can learn from a performer's actions e.g. hitting keys or drums or motions of the limbs and so on. Then the performer can train the Neural Network to play along in an orchestrated manner via examples of short performances. If so the problem was: on what platform to run the Neural Network computations? And we researched the recent releases of the hardware and at 1.5 billion instructions per second + vector floating point accelerator at $90 price range this board was ideal. Unfortunately I am not a performer, so I have no sample learning examples. But if you could find some, e.g. Input:{finger1, finger2, finger3, finger4, finger5} -----> Output:{some midi sequence} finger to mean the location or pressure or twist or ... I can then build a smaller learning program, which will be fully trainable for multiple performances and instruments. Since the beagleboard is inexpensive you can attach one to every performer, you get the point.... Dara On 2012-04-02, at 11:30 PM, Boris Klompus wrote: > Hi Dara, > > Awesome. Thanks for the link.

First of all, the programme seems FANTASTIC!!! 'Sound' is my personal interest and I was happy writing my MA memoir related to that subject. Second, your email address brought back my memories at London College of Printing while I was studying Interactive Multimedia in 2001/2002. Now that the name of the college has changed and the Back Hill days are gone, for me the memories are untouchable memories indeed. It is a great shame that I cannot attend the symposium since I live in Seoul, Korea. Is there ANY WAY that I can get access to the contents of the programme? Such as, any documentation available for people like me? Or will there be video clips to watch on? Anything? :) It would be of great help if you can give me feedback. Thank you for reading my email, and I hope all the best and success for the symposium.
