Introduction to the Sensing Music-related Actions project
Sensing Music-related Actions is a joint research project of the departments of Musicology and Informatics, and will run from July 2008 until July 2011.This interdisciplinary project, combining scientific, technological and artistic methods, proposes three crucial topics for future development of multimodal devices: a) the importance of action-sound couplings for both performance and perception of music, b) the control potential of human bodily movement, c)a move towards an active music experience. These topics will be explored through experiments, observation studies and modelling of action-sound couplings; and prototyping of enactive media devices.

Motion capture of music-related movements
This part of the workshop will review the basics of using motion capture (mocap) for the analysis of music performance and present various case studies of projects using this technique. It will include details about the most common mocap technologies currently used, including passive and active infrared, electromagnetic, and inertial systems, as well as software applications used to analyze mocap data. Examples of mocap data using systems such as Vicon and BTS Elite (passive infrared), NDI Optotrak and Certus (active infrared), Polhemus Liberty (electromagnetic), and XSens (inertial) will be presented. Finally, we will discuss issues of cost-effectiveness and complexity of analysis using such techniques.

Biosensing of music-related movements
On-body sensor systems can be used for musical gesture analysis and augmented control of musical instruments. We will examine the use of a number of on-body sensor systems for measuring kinematics and physiological state during performance. So-called "biosensing" will be discussed including how neurological activity is measured and processed for use in motion and emotion analysis. The simultaneous use of motion sensors, force sensors, and bioelectric sensors will be demonstrated. The key issues of synchronization and multimodal processing will be discussed.
