About this book

This SpringerBrief provides a unique insight into the practice and research of the connections between voice, HCI and embodiment. Specifically, it explores how the voice can be embodied and mediated by means of gestural communication through sensor interfaces and aims to situate and contextualise various aspects that generate meaningful connections in such interactive interface performance. The author offers an approach for understanding creative practices between humans and computers in gestural live music performance, from the perspective of the embodied relationships created within such systems. Underlying practices, principles and sensor technologies that support creativity in embodied human-computer interaction in vocal music performance are examined and a dynamic framework and tools for anyone wishing to engage with this subject in depth are presented.


The book is essential reading not only for musicians, composers, researchers, application developers,musicologists and educators but also for students and tertiary institutions as well as actors and dramaturgs in a music context. 

Reviews

“Baumann provides an analytical framework for the various aspects that generate meaningful connections in interface performances. The book’s four chapters are devoted to the author’s practical experience with how music is localized and contextualized from the “creative potential of the abstract vocal terrain’ … through low- to high-level languages and interface configurations. … The book’s methodology is based on interviews with artists, nontraditional academic sources, and cognitive suggestions that Baumann captures from her life experiences with music.” (Romina Fucà, Computing Reviews, July 31, 2023)
