Experiments with music: Mobile Jam
Our goal is to create musical content that was specifically created using (interconnected) mobile phones by utilizing phone interfaces that radically expand music-making competency for a larger number of people. Mobile musicians could create increasingly more complex sound loops from samples and they could mix and manipulate the created music further .
Research:
- How to create a functioning platform for creating specific music?
- How to integrate mobile phones into web-based applications to generate user created musical content? Technically: how to use mobiles as remote controllers for musical applications?
- How to generate UCC on mobile phones, without computers (or rather: with only occasional web-based support)? Technically: how to use mobiles as stand-alone, music generating digital instruments?
- How to link physically present players so they can use each other mobile phones as loudspeakers.
- How to incorporate an ever larger pool of input (ie. accelerometers – gestures) and larger pool of output (ie. vibrator - feedback) possibilities given in a smart mobile phones.
