Sonimime: Movement Sonification For Real-Time Timbre Shaping

Jesse Fox, Jennifer Carlile

Open full text 3 citations

Abstract

This paper describes the design of SoniMime, a system forthe sonification of hand movement for real-time timbre shaping. We explore the application of the tristimulus timbremodel for the sonification of gestural data, working towardthe goals of musical expressivity and physical responsiveness. SoniMime uses two 3-D accelerometers connected toan Atmel microprocessor which outputs OSC control messages. Data filtering, parameter mapping, and sound synthesis take place in Pd running on a Linux computer.
