招待講演 Teresa Marrin Nakra|
Conductor's Gestures and Their Mapping to Sound Synthesis
Dr. Nakra will describe her work at the intersection of classical music and new technology. Since 1994 she has researched the art of conducting and developed numerous applications for both experts and novices. This work began with the "Digital Baton," which she designed and patented with a team at the MIT Media Lab. The Digital Baton was used like a 3D mouse to perform sounds in Tod Machover's Brain Opera. Based on that work, she developed a sensor interface called the "Conductor's Jacket," which was worn by numerous conductors in data collection sessions. After analyzing the data, she developed a synthetic orchestra system to allow conductors to control realistic orchestral sounds with gestures. After completing that work at MIT, she founded a non-profit arts organization, Immersion Music, to continue this work. Projects that have applied her research results have included the Digital Conducting Laboratory, the "Concerto for Conductor," the "You're the Conductor" museum exhibit, and the UBS Virtual Maestro kiosk. As a result of those projects, she developed an ongoing research collaboration with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and McGill University. Dr. Nakra will describe the feedback loop of research results fueling applications, which then reveal new questions to be answered. | |
