about

Meta Gesture Music was a major research project spanning 2012-2017 made possible by a grant from the European Research Council. MGM set an ambitious agenda to look at gesture in musical performance and the engagement of the human body with sound.

Our research has been published in books and scientific publications on topics of embodied human-computer interaction, social participation, and sound art. The project enabled us top bring to London the international conference, New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) in 2014.

Live performance is an integral part of our work. We ran a bi-monthly club event, the EAVI nights; have performed at Cafe OTO, Corsica Studios, the Wellcome Trust; and have been broadcast on BBC World Service and Radio 3. The concert and CD bring together some of the artists who have been instrumental in this work.

The MGM team was led by Atau Tanaka, and was made up of researchers Baptiste Caramiaux, Adam Parkinson, Miguel Ortiz, and Dee Harding; PhD students Alessandro Altavilla, Marco Donnarumma, Adriana Sá, and Reinhold Friedl; a production team of Pete Mackenzie and Steph Horak; visiting researchers and interns.

We would like to thank the ERC (FP7-283771), colleagues in the Embodied Audiovisual Interaction (EAVI) research unit, and the broader community at Goldsmiths.
