Motion Capture and Analysis of Music Performance
Workshop Date:
Mon, 06/18/2018 - Fri, 06/22/2018
Currently we plan to examine spontaneous gestures while singing, an understudied area in musician’s motions using this tool. You will learn techniques for analyzing motion capture data, including characterizing motion on small and large timescales. We will also engage in reading and discussing recent motion studies of performers, reviewing what the field has discovered thus far about musician’s creative processes as expressed through motion. The course will use MATLAB as our data analysis platform; programming experience is recommended but not required.
