We presented the first version of COMO – Collective Movement, at the International Conference on Movement and Computing, Goldsmiths University of London, 2017.
COMO is a collection of prototype Web Apps for movement-based sound interaction, targeting collective interaction using mobile phones.
COMO is based on a software ecosystem developed by IRCAM, using XMM (see in particular xmm-soundworks-template, Collective Soundworks, waves.js. intergrating the RAPID-MIX API.
The idea behind the implementation of COMO is to have a distributed interactive machine learning architecture. It consists of lightweight client-side JavaScript libraries that enable recording gestures and performing analysis/recognition, and of a server performing the training and storage of statistical models.
COLOOP, presented at A Futur en Seine, June 8-10, Grande Halle de la Villette
COLOOP is a connected sequencer, with integrated speakers. The users can use their smartphones to create collectively musical “loops”.
By NoDesign.net and IRCAM (ISMM team), as part of the CoSiMa project
Le son au bout des doigts is an installation shown 1.6.–18.6. at the Centre Pompidou and part of Ircam’s Manifeste festival using ISMM’s gesture recognition and interactive sound synthesis technology.
It offers a playful, interactive, sonorous and visual journey for children ages two and up. Through manipulations and listening, the children’s sight and hearing is solicited. In Topo-phonie Café imagined by B. MacFarlane, the children are guided by a game of organic structures. They set special tables that create sonorous suprises.
With DIRTI developed by User Studio/Matthieu Savary, when children sink their hands in different materials that fill interactive tubs they set off sounds and images. More…
Workshop on Skill Learning and Interactive Music Technology (organized by Baptiste Caramiaux, Marcelo Wanderley, Frederic Bevilacqua, Andrew McPherson, Ana Tajadura-Jiménez), and contribution of Hugo Scurto Shaping and Exploring Interactive Motion-Sound Mappings Using Online Clustering Techniques
At the #MTFScandi, presenting at our new wifi R-IoT sensor module with 9 axis sensor with 3 accelerometers, 3 gyroscopes and 3 magnetometers, all 16 bit, along with real-time sensor analysis tools, in the context of the MusicBricks project More…
Eric Boyer successfully defended his PhD thesis, “Continuous Auditory Feedback for Sensorimotor Learning”, on Mai 11th. Eric conducted his PhD in the ISMM and PDS teams and at LPP-CNRS Université Paris Descartes with Sylvain Hanneton, Patrick Susini and Frédéric Bevilacqua.
The Jury was composed by Pr. Cathy CRAIG – Queen’s University Belfast, Pr. Roberto BRESIN – KTH Royal Institute of Technology – Stockholm, Pr. Vincent HAYWARD – UPMC – Paris, Dr. Bruno GIORDANO – Center for Neuroimaging – Glasgow, Pr. Olivier GAPENNE – UTC – Compiègne, Dr. Patrick SUSINI – IRCAM, Dr. Sylvain HANNETON – Université Paris Descartes and Dr. Frédéric BEVILACQUA – IRCAM.
Jules Françoise successfully defended his PhD thesis, “Motion-Sound Mapping by Demonstration”, on March 18. Jules conducted his PhD in the ISMM team with Frédéric Bevilacqua and Thierry Artières.
The Jury was composed by Dr. Catherine ACHARD (ISIR, UPMC), Dr. Olivier CHAPUIS (INRIA, Orsay), Dr. Thierry DUTOIT (University of Mons), Dr. Rebecca FIEBRINK (Goldsmith University of London), Dr. Sergi JORDÀ (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona), Dr. Marcelo WANDERLEY (Professeur à l’Université McGill, Montréal).

CoSiMa submitted a Work-in-Progress paper at the Tangible and Embedded Interfaces conference held at Stanford University in January 2015 (TEI’15). The paper Collective Sound Checks — Exploring Intertwined Sonic and Social Affordances of Mobile Web Applications describes the mobile-web scenarios we tested at the Centre Pompidou with the Studio 13/16, and explores how these new forms of musical expression strongly shift the focus of design from human-computer interactions towards the emergence of computer-mediated interactions between players based on sonic and social affordances of ubiquitous technologies.
