Abstract

In this paper, we focus on electrical bio-signals of humans as a core musical material. Typically, interaction is under-utilized in bio-music; an improved system can offer alternative design opportunities compared to a collection of instruments controlled by bio-signals in real-time. Our Interactive Bio-music Improvisation System (IBIS) is capable of rendering pre-recorded bio-signals under controlled situations, and allows two performers to interact with the computational representation of a third one in real-time. These capabilities afford a multitude of narratives. Here, we present our bio-signal instrumentation and audiovisual synthesis strategies in detail; we aim to demonstrate the components of the IBIS during the ICMC-08 Conference.
