ANTracks: generative mobile music composition
Pages 302 - 305
Abstract
This paper describes a generative music composition application on a mobile phone. Music generation is a well-suited application domain for multi-touch and reality based interaction. Thus, we choose to implement our concept on Apple's iPhone/iPod touch. Based on selected harmonic scales the user creates a musical expression by controlling a number of virtual ants. The movement along pre-defined patterns allows users with little artistic talent to create harmonic expressions. The mobile device can act as a multi-touch input device that controls an electronic synthesizer program on a desktop computer or as a stand-alone application.
