I was reading Joseph Paradiso’s paper Electronic Music Interfaces, and he is pointing out good ideas approaching how to build a electronic musical interface.

I think the question we have to ask to ourselves is before starting any production, how I am going to approach to it. Is it going to be an extension for a current acoustic instrument,or is it going to be a total new interface? Personally I am kind of curious about two things currently. Using slit-scanning as a real time composition tool and using brainwaves to perform and compose.

I have found couple of good papers around those subjects:
Computer Music Research page of Plymouth University, UK
Interfacing the Brain Directly with Musical Systems: On developing systems for making music with brain signals
Tactile Composition Systems for Collaborative Free Sound
An Informal Catalogue of Slit-Scan Video Artworks by Golan Levin.

Those could be a good start for inspiration.-

The class is about building/experimenting new musical controllers, videos seem interesting, syllabus might be checked out periodically.

Joseph Paradiso (he is the director of the Responsive Environments Group)has paper dated 1998 where he describes new electronic music interfaces.

He played mostly with human voice and created different electroacoustic pieces with it. I was curious about his “voiceprints”, but since the Bob Host didn’t have it, I couldn’t find a chance to listen to it.

Here is a link I have found from Tate Modern, it is Alvier Lucier, a US composer who uses systems as a generative device.

The American composer Alvin Lucier was an early pioneer of sound works which use systems as a generative device. He has since produced innovations in many areas of musical composition and performance, including the notation of physical gestures, the use of brain waves in live performance, and the evocation of room acoustics for musical purposes. His recent works include a series of performances in which, by means of close tunings with pure tones, sound waves are caused to spin through space.
