The Importance of Parameter Mapping in Electronic Instrument Design - Andy Hunt; Marcelo M. Wanderley; Matthew Paradis

The Importance of Parameter Mapping in Electronic Instrument Design - Andy Hunt, Marcelo Wanderley, Matthew Paradis

A rather brilliant article for several reasons. To start this article serves as some thing as a reference point for many major research projects into mapping in DMIs and as such will be very handy to refer back to later should I need inspiration for this stage. Also the article uses both objective and subjective treatments to argue that many-many (complex) strategies provide much more intimate and expressive music making experiences. One interesting example is that of the "accidental theremin". The paper also provides a better description (in my opinion) of the results and conclusions presented in Instrumental Gestural Mapping Strategies as Expressivity Determinants in Computer Music Performance by Rovan et al.
