FeelSound: collaborative composing of acoustic music

Published: 29 October 2009 Publication History

Abstract

FeelSound is a multi-user application for collaboratively composing music in an entertaining way. Up to four composers can jointly create acoustic music on a top-projection multi-touch sensitive table. The notes of an acoustic instrument are represented on a harmonic table and, by drawing shapes on an instrument's table, a sample is created. These samples are then composed into a single score. FeelSound has been demonstrated in three public settings and it was able to entice passers-by to be musically artistic and creative.
