GiantSteps: Semi-Structured Conversations with Musicians

Published:18 April 2015Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper describes an initial interview session involving users in the imagination and exploration of working creatively with electronic music. The underlying concern for this process is to not just improve existing user interfaces, but rather to aim for interface structures developed in direct peer collaborations with expert users, with an aim to provide increased flow and unbroken periods of concentration and creativity. This work-in-progress paper describes the theoretical concerns informing the process and the results from the first round of interviews.
