Abstract:
This paper describes the development of an interactive musical
toy, designed to be used by musicians. The design process, which
involved close collaboration between a composer/musician and a
technician/musician, is described as is the toy itself. The toy
makes use of physical modelling techniques which are intended to
allow the musician to more intuitively understand and control the
visualisation. The structure of the application is described at a
high level and a preliminary evaluation by a professional musician
is provided.
