MubuFunkScatShare: gestural energy and shared interactive music
Résumé
We present a ludic interactive music performance that allows live recorded sounds to be re-rendered through the users' movements. The interaction design made the control similar to a shaker where the motion energy drives the energy of the played music piece. The instrument has been designed for musicians as well as non-musicians and allows for multiple players. In the MubuFunkScatShare performance, one performer plays acoustical instruments into the system, subsequently rendering them by shaking a smartphone. He invites participation by volunteers from the audience, resulting in a fun musical piece that includes layers of funk guitar, scat singing, guitar solo, and beatboxing.
