Abstract:
In this paper we describe the development of an interactive
artwork which incorporates both a musical composition and
software which provides a visual and aural accompaniment.
The system uses physical modeling to implement a type of
virtual ‘sonic sculpture’ which responds to musical input in a
way which appears naturalistic. This work forms part of a
larger project to use art to explore the potential of computers to
develop interactive tools which support the development of
creative musical skills.
