A series of questions were created regarding the analysis of the instrument's state within a performance situation. This has provided an overview of the different changes that could be used to facilitate the convergence of the acoustic and digital elements.
Furthermore, the concepts of momentum and storing or imparting energy in the cello has been particularly useful when thinking about the mapping of this instrument.
storing/capturing energy transferred into cello whilst playing
determine/detect players intention/ regularity, patterns, tendency, direction, vector
(leaky integrator)
Are movements regular or changing/intermitent?
smooth or clustered/irratic
linear or curved
fast or slow
(use smoothing over shorter and larger periods of time)
How do the movements of the various components of the instrument (body, fingerboard, neck, bridge, strings, bow, sensors) relate to each other over time?
complimentary or contrasting
Where are the movements taking place on/around the body of the cello?
neck, fingerboard (pressure and position)
Are patch parameters being manipulated?
if so, then how are they being manipulated?
Is there any audio in the buffers?
if so what is the nature of this audio?
loop length, dynamics (how much sound) percussive, tonally stable, noisy
Are the strings being played / touched?
how much pressure is being applied?
which strings are being used?
how are fingers placed?
stretched or close
Is the bridge/body being used? (contact mics, pickups)
percussively, soft or loud, scraping (long or short)
