MIDI Motion: Interactive Music Composition Gloves

Published:20 March 2017Publication History

ABSTRACT

Midi Motion Gloves is an interactive wearable that is used to manipulate, organize, and construct audio patterns for the purpose of composing music. Acting as an interface between the user and a Digital Audio Workspace, or DAW, the gloves give a user complete control over customization of sounds, effects, tempo, recording, looping, and other musical elements. MIDI Motion gloves utilize organic human movement like finger bending, hand rotation, and finger tapping to trigger audio clips or add effects and filters, ultimately allowing the user to efficiently compose and visualize complex musical patterns in a three-dimensional space.
