Álvaro Sarasúa is currently a visiting researcher at Goldsmiths’ EAVI research group. His research focuses on the analysis of conducting gestures performed by participants with different musical backgrounds with the aim to build more intuitive and expressive interfaces drawing upon a conductor-orchestra metaphor.
In this talk, Álvaro will discuss the results of studies with different subjects conducting on top of classical music excerpts and recorded with a Kinect camera, exploring the relationship between their movements and the expressive aspects of the performance.
In addition, he will discuss his use of repoVizz (an online repository for multimodal data developed in the MTG), make some demos about the current possibilities of the tool and explain the directions for future development under projects such as RAPID-MIX, in which EAVI is a partner.
