Stride is a language tailored for designing new digital musical instruments and interfaces. Stride enables designers to fine tune the sound and the interactivity of the instruments they wish to create. Stride code provides a high-level description of processes in a platform agnostic manner. The syntax used to define these processes can also be used to define low-level signal processing algorith...

This discussion investigates the importance of understanding and establishing limits on the following three areas during the compositional process of creating music for a digital musical instrument (DMI): group paradigms; performance practises; sound-gesture combinations. I will propose a compositional model in which composing for and performing on a DMI requires rigourous technique attained on...

The Double Slide Controller is a new electronic music instrument that departs from the slide trombone as a model for its design. Going much beyond a mere simulation of its acoustic counterpart it introduces truly innovative features: two powerful and versatile sets of gesture driven interfaces actuated by the hands of the performer, as well as featuring two independent slides, one for each hand...

Soft set theory proposed by Molodtsov is a new mathematical tool for dealing with the uncertain data. Soft set-based dimensionality reduction can be considered as a technique for feature selection. In this paper, we present an alternative technique for feature selection of traditional Malay musical instrument sounds dataset. The technique is based on matrices computation of multi-soft sets for ...

For 30 years Disc Jockeys have been expressing their musical ideas with scratching. Unlike many other popular instruments, the equipment used for scratching is not built as one single unit, and it was not intended to be a musical instrument. This paper gives an overview of how DJs use their turntable, vinyl record and audio mixer in junction to produce scratch music. Their gestural input to the...
