From AI, creativity and music to IoT, HCI, musical instrument design and audio interaction: a journey in sound

Abstract

This introduction brings together a range of research, a majority of which was presented at the Audio Mostly conference hosted at the University of Nottingham. The conference brings together a range of researchers, industry, designers and educators to discuss all things audio-related, the main focus of the conference is to further understand the different ways in which we can interact with audio-based technologies. This special issue is testament to the international and interdisciplinary nature of the growing Audio Mostly conference, which brings together a range of experts from across the world.

A recurrent theme in this collection is the turn to the creative appropriation of sonic and musical interactions with computers. From the design of sound interactions with physical objects, the development and evaluation of new digital instruments and their expressive capabilities, to basic and explorative research about sound perception and the semantics of sonic experiences, the volume emphasizes the importance of sound in interaction. Sound offers not only numerous creative and expressive possibilities; it also suggests new opportunities for the exploration of new kinds of interactions with ubiquitous and pervasive computers. As our attentional ability seems to be increasingly overextended by a multitude of visual displays and affordances, sound might provide avenues for more ambient and less intrusive forms of interaction...
