Abstract: This thesis examines how the familiar setup of vinyl DJ turntables can be reimagined by introducing tangible interfaces and digital tools. The goal is to open up new ways of making […]

This article revisits the concept of the instrument’s inherent score, exploring how musical instruments can embody a form of notation that both shapes and inspires performance. Building on earlier research (Tomás 2016; […]

Can tangible computer music interfaces inspire creativity and enhance artistic stage performances for visually impaired and blind musicians? What are the benefits of engaging with tangible interfaces in the context of computer […]

In this paper we discuss the beneficial aspects of incorporating energy-motion models as a design pattern in musical interface design. These models can be understood as archetypes of motion trajectories which are […]

This work-in-progress paper presents prototypes of three tangible user interfaces that provide an interactive physical display for sound controls, such as step sequences, envelopes or sample playback rates. They use mechanical actuators […]

This paper describes the Ph.D. research project “Tangible Signals” which is currently in its initial phase. This project investigates the dynamic physical representation and haptic feedback control of computer music and sound […]

This cumulative dissertation discusses – by the example of four subse-quent publications – the various layers of a tangible interaction frame-work, which has been developed in conjunction with an electronic musical instrument […]

 This thesis investigates the artistic and philosophical consequences of understanding musical instruments as artifacts embodying a score. In other words, it explores the extent to which musical instruments can be perceived as […]
