The project covers a series of research topics including the following:
- interactive media scoring and its backgrounds in computer science, media sciences, and musicology,
- techniques of interactive and adaptive music, including generative music,
- musical interaction techniques and sound synthesis approaches for novel digital musical interfaces and instruments
- Auditory Displays and Sonic Interaction Design to supporthuman-computer interaction and interface accessibility.
Some of the results of this project are:
- an approach for interactive ambient music generation,
- accompanying research on the use of ambient music for interactive media scoring,
- the digital musical interface TouchNoise,
- experiments in the sonification of free-hand gestures to support free-hand interaction,
- studies for sound-based navigation in two-dimensional search spaces.
