Body as Instrument explores how musicians interact with
movement-controlled performance systems, producing sounds imbued
with their individual physical signature. Using motion tracking
technology, performers can translate physical actions into sonic
processes, creating or adapting novel gestural systems that
transcend the structures and constraints of conventional musical
instruments. Interviews with influential artists in the field,
Laetitia Sonami, Atau Tanaka, Pamela Z, Julie Wilson-Bokowiec,
Lauren Sarah Hayes, Mark Coniglio, Garth Paine and The Bent Leather
Band expose the transformational impact of motion sensors on
musicians' body awareness and abilities. Coupled with reflection on
author-composed works, the book analyses how the body as instrument
metaphor informs relationships between performers, their bodies and
self-designed instruments. It also examines the role of
experiential design strategies in developing robust and nuanced
gestural systems that mirror a performer's movement habits,
preferences and skills, inspiring new physical forms of musical
communication and diverse musical repertoire.
