About this exposition

This research is about the design of a method to control multi-channel spatialization through hand movement. The main goal is to explore a technique to perform real-time spatialization in live performance situations, by linking specific hand movements to sound movement. The thesis is divided into three parts and commence with the description of some of the systems and methods which have contributed to the evolution of multi-channel sound spatialization. Following this description, there is an overview of the software I had the opportunity to test and an explanation about how spatialization can be used as a creative tool, discussing a categorization of sound motion types and their influence on the musical meaning. The second part concerns the path that led me to the choice of the Genki Wave Ring as a gestural interface to achieve the goals of my research, followed by concepts concerning the design of gestural interfaces and a classification of them. This part continues with an explanation about the interaction modes that a performer can have by using gestures to control multi-channel spatialization and classification of different types of performers. The third part presents the methodology with which I arrived at my conclusions. In these chapters there is a technical explanation about how the hand movement-based system for spatialization is working, followed by a chapter on the try-outs of the system and the collaboration with artists for the design of live performances, and an evaluation of the system itself.
