Doctoral Student Neal Spowage recently co-authored a paper, "Gestural Musical Affordances", which was presented at the Sound and Music Computing 2012 conference, held this year in Copenhagen. The paper documents a study that he devised jointly with staff and students at
Newcastle Culture Lab. It compared the physical, gestural and cultural attributes of two modern design classics, the iPhone and Wii Remote, as Live Sound Control Interfaces.
On the 8th September, Neal will be performing
sib Conduit (video available
here). This is his recent collaboration with London based Choreographer
Danai Pappa from the
Agony Art collective. It will take place at the
Live Interfaces conference, Leeds University School of Music. 'sib Conduit' explores the gesture and movement that is generated by sonically indeterminate sculptural instruments.
