We present our case study on gifting digital music, The Rough Mile, as an example of a Framework of Immersive Practice, intended for researchers and practitioners in HCI and interaction design. Although immersion is a frequently used term in the HCI... Read More about The Rough Mile: Testing a Framework of Immersive Practice.

Composing and realising a game-like performance for disklavier and electronics (2017)
Conference Proceeding

“Climb!” is a musical composition that combines the ideas of a classical virtuoso piece and a computer game. We present a case study of the composition process and realization of “Climb!”, written for Disklavier and a digital interactive engine, whic...

Playing fast and loose with music recognition (2017)
Conference Proceeding

We report lessons from iteratively developing a music recognition system to enable a wide range of musicians to embed musical codes into their typical performance practice. The musician composes fragments of music that can be played back with varying... Read More about Playing fast and loose with music recognition.

"They're all going out to something weird": Workflow, legacy and metadata in the music production process (2017)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper we use results from two ethnographic studies of the music production process to examine some key issues regarding how work is currently accomplished in studio production environments. These issues relate in particular to workflows and h... Read More about "They're all going out to something weird": Workflow, legacy and metadata in the music production process.

Personal data management with the Databox: What’s inside the box? (2016)
Conference Proceeding

We are all increasingly the subjects of data collection and processing systems that use data generated both about and by us to provide and optimise a wide range of services. Means for others to collect and process data that concerns each of us – ofte... Read More about Personal data management with the Databox: What’s inside the box?.

GeoTracks: adaptive music for everyday journeys (2016)
Conference Proceeding

Listening to music on the move is an everyday activity for many people. This paper proposes geotracks and geolists, music tracks and playlists of existing music that are aligned and adapted to specific journeys. We describe how everyday walking journ...

^muzicode$: composing and performing musical codes (2016)
Conference Proceeding

We present muzicodes, an approach to incorporating machine-readable ‘codes’ into music that allows the performer and/or composer to flexibly define what constitutes a code, and to perform around it. These codes can then act as triggers, for example t... Read More about ^muzicode$: composing and performing musical codes.

Accountable artefacts: The case of the Carolan Guitar (2016)
Conference Proceeding

We explore how physical artefacts can be connected to digital records of where they have been, who they have encountered and what has happened to them, and how this can enhance their meaning and utility. We describe how a travelling technology probe... Read More about Accountable artefacts: The case of the Carolan Guitar.

Learning from the experts: enabling and studying DIY development of location-based visitor experiences (2015)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper we show how -- with the aid of enabling technology -- creative Location Based Experiences can be developed for visitors by non-technical professionals from the cultural heritage sector. We look at how these "Place Experts" approach and... Read More about Learning from the experts: enabling and studying DIY development of location-based visitor experiences.

Considering musical structure in location-based experiences (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Locative music experiences are often non-linear and as such the final structure of the music heard is guided by the movements of the user. We note an absence of principles regarding how composers should approach the structuring of such locative sound... Read More about Considering musical structure in location-based experiences.

Inter-social-networking: Accounting for multiple identities (2015)
Conference Proceeding

We argue that the current approaches to online social networking give rise to numerous challenges regarding the management of the multiple facets of people’s digital identities within and around social networking sites (SNS). We propose an architectu... Read More about Inter-social-networking: Accounting for multiple identities.

Doing it for themselves: the practices of amateur musicians and DIY music networks in a digital age (2014)
Conference Proceeding

A fast expanding network of DIY music communities in the UK see digital technologies transforming ways in which part-time amateur musicians are able to collabo- rate creatively and form alliances, producing unique per- formance techniques, experiment...

Supporting team coordination on the ground: requirements from a mixed reality game (2014)
Conference Proceeding

We generate requirements for time-critical distributed team support relevant for domains such as disaster response. We present the Radiation Response Game to investigate socio-technical issues regarding team coordination. Field responders in this mix...

Displaying locality: connecting with customers and visitors in-situ via their mobile devices (2014)
Conference Proceeding

A large and growing proportion of the general population in the UK and similar nations routinely carry smart phones and access the Internet while on the go. However, especially in rural areas, mobile Internet access can be intermittent and slow, and...

Social implications of agent-based planning support for human teams (2014)
Conference Proceeding

We present a field trial of how instructions from an intelligent planning agent are dealt with by distributed human teams, in a time-critical task setting created through a mixed-reality game. We conduct interaction analysis to examine video recorded... Read More about Social implications of agent-based planning support for human teams.

Supporting group interactions in museum visiting (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Ethnographic study in two contrasting museums highlights a widespread but rarely documented challenge for CSCW design. Visitors' engagement with exhibits often ends prematurely due to the need to keep up with or attend to fellow group members. We unp...
