ZOOZbeat: mobile music recreation

Published: 10 April 2010 Publication History

Abstract

ZOOZbeat is a gesture-based Music reCreation studio. It is designed to provide users with expressive and creative access to music making on the go. ZOOZbeat users can compose user-generated songs based on generic beats in different styles or remix and modify commercially licensed songs. To play notes or trigger musical loops, players can shake the phone or tap the screen. Users can also record voice or other audio input into their songs and utilize tilt and shake movements to manipulate and share the music in a group. Design goals of the project focused on creating intuitive metaphors for mobile music making and maintaining a balance between control and ease-of-use.
