echobo : Audience Participation Using The Mobile Music Instrument
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work aims to create a musical performance for large-scale audience participation using mobile phones as musical instruments. Utilizing ubiquitous smartphones, we attempted to facilitate audience engagement with networked phones as musical instruments. Drawing lessons learnt from previous works of mobile music, audience participation practices, and networked instrument design, we developed echobo. Audience members download the app, play the instrument instantly, interact with other audience members, and contribute to the music via sound generated on their mobile phones. Surveys of participants indicated that it was easy to play and that participants felt connected to the music and other musicians.

متن کاملCreative Participation for Audiences of Live Music Performances
udience participation in musical performances can be manifested in many ways, from a receiver sense (sitting in silent contemplation of sounds, for example) to a more active form of participation involving physical actions contributing to the performance (singing along with musicians, for example).
