[June 6] urMus - Mobile Music Instruments and Environments
How do music information retrieval (MIR), music performance, and music composition overlap? What tools are being developed in MIR research that may have interesting uses in creating new music? How might the needs and practices of composers and performers inform MIR work? How can we support better collaboration and cross-visibility between MIR researchers and the computer music community? These are some questions that we believe are worth exploring in a dedicated workshop at ICMC. |

June 6, 2010, 3:30pm to 8:30pm Georg Essl This will be a tutorial of urMus for iPhones and iPod Touches. The goal of the tutorial is to introduce instrument building and music performance on mobile smart phones and lead the participants through the process of building their own using urMus as the environment. urMus is designed to allow multiple levels of entry. It offers a graphical patching interface that can be used to design musical interactions without any direct programming, but it also offers a rich programming language API in the Lua programming language. Lua is a simple multi-paradigmatic language that should be easy to learn for anybody who has mastered another programming language. The tutorial will be accessible for both performers who want to start building interactive systems quickly as well as for instrument designers who want to develop delicate interactions. The workshop will be using iPhone and iPod touches. Participants are welcome to use their own, but we will be providing sufficient devices for all participants.
