Sound Music Movement Interaction

• Gesture and movement modeling and sensorimotor learning: this theme brings together the development of behavioral or neural models, based on experimental studies, generally concerning sound–movement interaction while taking perceptual aspects into account, ranging from instrumental performance to dance movement.
• Interactive sound synthesis and processing: this theme mainly includes sound synthesis and processing methods based on recorded sounds or large sound corpora.
• Gesture-based sound interactive systems and movement sonification: this theme concerns the design and development of interactive sound environments using gestures, movements, and touch. Interactive machine-learning methods are developed specifically for these uses. Movement sonification has applications in health, particularly in rehabilitation (Sound–Music–Health axis).
• Composition and interaction design with musical processes: this theme concerns the design of interaction strategies with audio and/or musical synthesis, as well as the customization of this interaction by artists, notably through modeling from examples of relationships between control streams (audio or symbolic) and the sound material to be synthesized, using various machine-learning models.
• Collective musical interaction and distributed systems: this theme addresses questions of musical interaction ranging from a few users to several hundred. It focuses in particular on the development of a web environment combining computers, microcomputers, smartphones and/or embedded systems, in order to explore new possibilities for expressive and synchronized interactions.
