  1. Introduction to Seminar MUMT-620 Class 1 - Introduction Prof. Marcelo M. Wanderley marcelo.wanderley@mcgill.ca

  2. MUMT-620 • Prof. Marcelo M. Wanderley • E-mail address:marcelo.wanderley@mcgill.ca • Office: Room 513 (550, Sherbrooke W) • Phone: 398-4535 ext: 00917 • Office hours:Mondays 3:00 - 5:00 pm MUMT-620

  3. Human Computer Interaction • Real-Time Gestural Control of Computer Music (Sound Synthesis). • Questions to be addressed: • How to use the computer as part of a real-time instrument? • How to play the computer? MUMT-620

  4. Human Computer Interaction • This seminar aims at presenting the ground notions regarding human-computer interaction (HCI) in complex,multi-parametric contexts such as computer music, and interactive live performance. MUMT-620

  5. Main Topics - 1 • Analysis of gestural communication in HHC, HCI, and Music. • Review of the existing literature in HCI and its application to the design and evaluation of new interfaces for musical expression. MUMT-620

  6. Main Topics - 2 • Possibilities regarding gestural acquisition: direct, indirect and physiological gestural acquisition. • Mapping strategies relating control variables to synthesis variables and their influence on instrument expressiveness. MUMT-620

  7. Teaching methods • Lectures (Powerpoint). Examples will be provided by means of videos and demos. • Readings to be discussed in the following class (mandatory!) • Student presentations based on selected key readings. MUMT-620

  8. Guidelines for Student Pres. • A summary of the article assigned to you containing: • A list of the main ideas • Strong and weak points • Comparison with similar works • A list of 3 questions to be discussed in class (to be distributed before class!) MUMT-620

  9. Individual Projects • Students will propose individual projects: • Based on the arduino board and basic sensors • Formal evaluation of existing controllers • Final project will be decided with instructor • Project demonstration and report due on week 13 MUMT-620

  10. Learning Outcomes • A thoroughunderstanding of the major trends in HCI and music. • A clear idea of the functioning of several available input devices. MUMT-620

  11. MUMT-615 • Credits: 3 (three) • Course Evaluation: • Summaries of Papers (20%) • Student Presentation (20%) • Project Proposal (20%) on week 6 • Project presentation/report (40%) on week 13 MUMT-620

  12. Bibliography Required: • Miranda and Wanderley. 2006. New Digital Musical Instruments: Control and Interaction Beyond the Keyboard. A-R Publishing. • Wanderley and Battier. 2000. Trends in Gestural Control of Music. Paris: IRCAM. Complementary: • Several other sources (NIME, ISIDM, ConGAS, CHI proceedings, etc.) MUMT-620

  13. Available Material • Facilities: • Several Controllers: • Gestural Controllers (Meta Instrument, V-Drums, Radio Baton, Buchla Lightning II, etc. Etc.) • Force-Feedback devices (Phantoms, ERGOS (soon!), • Various sensor interfaces & sensors MUMT-620
