Level: Beginner with some music software experience

Computers these days give us the power to create almost any sound imaginable, so now we have to question ourselves – how do we interact with our computers physically? In this workshop you will explore what it’s like to control those sounds and effects with your movement by learning about Glover – a mapping application for converting movement to MIDI or OSC.

Session Study Topics

• Mapping movement to MIDI in Glover

• Training postures in Gliss

• Mapping from Glover to a DAW

• Considering what “good” movements are to control sound 

Requirements

• Download the free Gliss app from the Apple app store: iOs only

• Download free trial of Glover via mimugloves.com/glover

• A DAW or a piece of hardware that can receive MIDI or OSC – Ableton Live recommended as Chagall will be most proficient at supporting you with that but others work too

• A microphone routed into your computer if you’d like to experiment with manipulating your voice with Gliss
