augmented instruments are easy for performers of the pre-existing instruments. Musicians themselves have expertise, so let them do design. Come up w a system to let them easily do augmentations.
\nthr augmentalist was designed collaboratively.
\ngestures go to instrument, sesnors or both. Sound goes into daw. Processing happens
\nphoto of a slider bar taped to a guitar: quick and easy!
\ninstrument design sessions w 10 pop musicians. Experimenters presented system and updates then a testing session, then instrumentalists played arouns, then instrumentalists made suugestions for changes.
\nguitarists put tilt measurements on the head. Slider on guitar body. Sensors mapped to typical pedal fx.
\nan mc stuck thing to a mic and himself. Slider on the mic. Fsr on mic body. Accelerometer on his hand. And movements went to pich shifter.
\ninteresting results: most performers tried to use similar movement, like moving head and body. Only one person kept this. All instruments used tilt.
\nhundreds of gesture\/sound mappings were tried. Most considered successful, but not all were kept. Guitarists tend to develop the same augmentations as each other. But some unusual things were developed also.
\nmusicians start with technology rather than the gesture. Technology is seen as the limitation, so start w it’s limitations.
\nall musicians believed they could come to master systems.
\nover time, the musicans make the fx more subtle and musical
\ncan people swap instruments? Yes, they felt each other’s instruments were easy to use.
\none guitarist uses the system with his band and they’re gigging w it.
\ntakes up a lot of brain cycles to use extensions. It takes a lot of practice.
\nevery musician had maximum enjoyment at every session.
\nthis kind of user-lead thing can create new avenues for research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
