Designed for
an enclosed public space, the IC room allows visitors to manipulate and
direct fragments of a complex electronic orchestra with natural expressions
of hand and movement. A series of sensors placed through-out the room
interpret gesture; each individual sensor controls a sound channel which
contributes to the composition. Using two types of sensors - An X-Y grid
for small hand movements, and a series of oversize theremin rods which
can be controlled by the whole body, the system detects beat events and
gestures related to rhythm patterns and dynamics, and uses this information
to control the tempo, volume, timbre, pitch and effect of each sound channel
in the mix.
