Geecos – Gesture Control Surfaces

Dear all,

I realized I never published in this group a few links to my work related to Gesture & Sound.

here’s a video on the technology I developed at Ircam using modalys in real time, refined sound analysis of the performer’s hands and gesture recognition.
It was used last june during Manifeste 2013 in a piece by me called “Voir-Toucher” for 4 gestural musicians.
It’s all real time modal synthesis controlled and modulated only by performer’s gesture analyzed by audio descriptors.

Heres a first video released last september

and here’s a video of the last performance done in Italy last mai:

Comments are welcome

Dear all,

I’ve just released a video with some excerpts of the first composition using the Geecos (Gesture Control Surface).
Voir-Toucher, for 3 Geecos, Kinect and realtime sound synthesis premiered at Centre Pompidou - Grande Salle on June 12th 2013.

The sounds of the entire piece are done with modules in realtime and sound descriptor mapping using ircamdescriptors.

Enjoy:
