Sangbong Nam · New Interfaces for Musical Expression · 2013
This paper describes the Musical Poi (mPoi), a unique sensorbased musical instrument inspired by the ancient art of Jwibulnori and Poi spinning. The trajectory of circular motion drawn by the performance and the momentum of the mPoi instrument is converted to the energetic and vibrant sound, which creates a spiritual and meditative soundscape that opens everyone up the aura and clears the mind. The mPoi project and its concepts will be introduced rst, followed by a discussion of its interaction with a performer.
