This paper examines the musician/instrument relationship through exploring notions of mediated intentionality. Ihde's (1990) writings are taken as a starting point for examining these human–technology relationships with particular focus on intentionality human-instrument construction. Notions instruments mediators then examined from variety standpoints found in improvisational practice, different conceptions mediation, instrumental resistance and agency. Verbeek's (2008, 387–395) conception...
Abstract Music technology can provide unique opportunities to allow access music-making for clients with complex needs. While there is a growing trend of research in this area, has been shown face variety issues leading underuse context. This literature review collation information from peer-reviewed publications, gray literature, and practice. Focusing on active using new types alternate controllers, aims bring together regarding the available, categorizes music its use within therapy...

This article seeks to form a deeper understanding of the performance ecosystem by drawing parallels with Bourriaud's Relational Aesthetics and Guattari's conception subjectivity as outlined in Chaosmosis . Through an examination participation within performance, recognition mutability roles performer, listener, instrument environment creation music event, this examines place subjectivity, capacity for self-creation, formation group aesthetic. Such concept places meaning not individual...

This paper describes the development of a set three video games designed to reduce high drop-off rates associated with learning play piano/keyboard by gamifying rote tasks that require monotonous practice. By defining our own understanding what musicianship is and creating custom framework for assessment through use existing curriculum, we have chosen specific areas which most are critical developing motor skills building an music; these include practicing scales, keeping in time tempo...
This article documents the processes behind our distributed musical instrument, Ambiguous Devices . The project is motivated by mutual desire to explore disruptive forms of networked interactions in an attempt challenge and extend practices as improvisers instrument makers. We begin describing early design stage performance ecosystem, followed a technical description how system functions with examples from public performances installations. then situate work within genealogy human–machine...

Learning to play a musical instrument, particularly the keyboard, can be challenging for adults who are beginners or have previously given up due lack of foundational skills and engaging practice methods. To address this issue, we developed prototype games aimed at honing specific skills. Through several pilot studies, it became evident that assessing effectiveness video game experiences in skill acquisition compared traditional methods was essential. Therefore, hypothesised could encourage...
This article examines the use of Complexity Theory as an inspiration for creation new musical works, and highlights problems possible solutions associated with its application a compositional tool. In particular it explores how philosophy behind affects notions process-based composition, indeterminacy in music performer/listener/environment relationship, culminating providing basis understanding active process within context. The author presents one his own sound installations,...
