Abstract
This paper details ongoing research of a four-channel performance tool based on the idea of an audio collage controlled by freehand gestures and a tangible button interface. The coordinates of one hand are used in 3D space for gesture recognition (i.e., whether the hand is a palm or a fist), and the other for a wearable button switches. Depending on the mode selected by the buttons, the data is mapped to the position of the listening point, panning, volume, and playback speed of samples triggered. A number of design issues in relation to the use of touch-free and tangible interfaces are discussed, including the importance of touch in music and sound making, and the challenges of connecting gestural data to human proprioception in 3D space.
