Leimu: Gloveless music interaction using a wrist mounted leap motion (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Brown, D., Renney, N., Stark, A., Nash, C., & Mitchell, T. (2016, July). Leimu: Gloveless music interaction using a wrist mounted leap motion. Paper presented at The International Conference On New Interfaces for Musical Expression NIME2016, Brisbane, Australia

Camera-based motion tracking has become a popular enabling technology for gestural human-computer interaction. However, the approach suffers from several limitations, which have been shown to be particularly problematic when employed within musical c...

The ‘E’ in QWERTY: Musical expression with old computer interfaces (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Nash, C. (2016). The ‘E’ in QWERTY: Musical expression with old computer interfaces. In Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (224-229). https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1176088

This paper presents a development of the ubiquitous computer keyboard to capture velocity and other continuous musical properties, in order to support more expressive interaction with music software. Building on existing ‘virtual piano’ utilities, th... Read More about The ‘E’ in QWERTY: Musical expression with old computer interfaces.

The trinity test: Workshop on unified notations for practices and pedagogies in music and programming (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Nash, C. (2016, May). The trinity test: Workshop on unified notations for practices and pedagogies in music and programming. Presented at International Conference on Technologies for Music Notation and Representation (TENOR) 2016, Cambridge, UK

This paper outlines a workshop to explore intersections of programming and music in digital notation. With the aid of the Manhattan music programming and sequencing environment (Nash, 2014), methods for representing both high-level processes and low-...

GestureChords: Transparency in gesturally controlled digital musical instruments through iconicity and conceptual metaphor (2016)
Journal Article
Brown, D., Nash, C., & Mitchell, T. (2016). GestureChords: Transparency in gesturally controlled digital musical instruments through iconicity and conceptual metaphor

This paper presents GestureChords, a mapping strategy for chord selection in freehand gestural instruments. The strategy maps chord variations to a series of hand postures using the concepts of iconicity and conceptual metaphor, influenced by their u...
