Yoichi Nagashima, Tamami Tono Ito · University of Michigan Library Repository · 1999
This paper is intended as an investigation of new interactive environment for SHO (Japanese traditional instrument, a mouth organ like Sheng in China) performance. We have developed three styles of sensors for SHO performance with bio-sensor technology and microelectronics, designed a pattern recognizing module, and produced a multimedia / interactive environment for composition / performance of computer music featuring SHO. We also experimentally composed and performed some new works as multimedia arts, so we will report the performances and discuss about its problem and its potential.
