Sonifying the Scene: re-framing and manipulating meaning through audio augmentation (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chamberlain, A., & Hazzard, A. Sonifying the Scene: re-framing and manipulating meaning through audio augmentation. Presented at DMRN+10: Digital Music Research Network One-day Workshop 2015

Digital locative music technologies are transforming the ways in which we are able to manipulate and re-frame the meaning of architecture, landscape and art. In this note we explore and outline some of the key features that are associated with this.... Read More about Sonifying the Scene: re-framing and manipulating meaning through audio augmentation.

Understanding social media and sound: music, meaning and membership, the case of SoundCloud (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chamberlain, A., McGrath, S., & Benford, S. Understanding social media and sound: music, meaning and membership, the case of SoundCloud. Presented at DMRN+10: Digital Music Research Network One-day Workshop 2015

Social media technologies have meant that people’s mu- sic consumption and production practices have rapidly changed and evolved. In this paper, we start to explore and present some of our initial findings in respect to this growing area of research...

Food contributes a surprisingly large portion of personal greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Could pervasive technologies help influence diet choices to reduce this? The authors offer insights for designers of pervasive technologies addressing food and... Read More about Supporting Sustainable Food Shopping.

Augmenting a guitar with its digital footprint (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benford, S., Hazzard, A., Chamberlain, A., & Xu, L. Augmenting a guitar with its digital footprint. Presented at 15th International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

We explore how to digitally augment musical instruments by connecting them to their social histories. We describe the use of Internet of Things technologies to connect an acoustic guitar to its digital footprint – a record of how it was designed, bui...

Considering musical structure in location-based experiences (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hazzard, A., Benford, S., Chamberlain, A., & Greenhalgh, C. Considering musical structure in location-based experiences. Presented at 15th International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

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.

Emotions in context: examining pervasive affective sensing systems, applications, and analyses (2015)
Journal Article
Kanjo, E., Al-Husain, L., & Chamberlain, A. (2015). Emotions in context: examining pervasive affective sensing systems, applications, and analyses. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 19(7), 1197-1212. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-015-0842-3

Pervasive sensing has opened up new opportunities for measuring our feelings and understanding our behavior by monitoring our affective states while mobile. This review paper surveys pervasive affect sensing by examining and considering three major e...
