Reinterpretation of pottery as a musical interface

초록

Digitally integrating the materiality, form, and tactility in everyday objects (e.g., pottery) provides inspiration for new ways of musical expression and performance. In this project we reinterpret the creative process and aesthetic philosophy of pottery as algorithmic music to help users rediscover the latent story behind pottery through a synesthetic experience. Projects Mobius I and Mobius II illustrate two potential directions toward a musical interface, one focusing on the circular form, and the other, on graphical ornaments of pottery. Six conductive graphics on the pottery function as capacitive sensors while retaining their resemblance to traditional ornamental patterns in pottery. Offering pottery as a musical interface, we invite users to orchestrate algorithmic music by physically touching the different graphics. © 2020, Steering Committee of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression.
