Abstract
In this project, we have developed a real-time writing
instrument for music control. The controller, MusicGrip,
can capture the subtle dynamics of the user’s grip while
writing or drawing and map this to musical control signals
and sonic outputs. This paper discusses this conversion of
the common motor motion of handwriting into an
innovative form of music expression. The presented
example instrument can be used to integrate the composing
aspect of music with painting and writing, creating a new
art form from the resultant aural and visual representation
of the collaborative performing process.
