Balancing physical modeling and musical requirements: Algorithmically simulating the calls of Hyalessa maculaticollis for real-time instrumental control
Staas de Jong
This paper presents an algorithm that simulates the calls of the Hyalessa maculaticollis cicada for musical use. Written in SuperCollider, its input parameters enable real-time con…
Computational techniques enabling the perception of virtual images exclusive to the retinal afterimage
Staas de Jong, Gerrit van der Veer
The retinal afterimage is a widely known effect in the human visual system, which has been studied and used in the context of a number of major art movements. Therefore, when consi…
Human noise at the fingertip: Positional (non)control under varying haptic musical conditions (Appendices included)
Staas de Jong
As technologies and interfaces for the instrumental control of musical sound get ever better at tracking aspects of human position and motion in space, a fundamental problem emerge…
Computed fingertip touch for the instrumental control of musical sound with an excursion on the computed retinal afterimage
Staas de Jong
In this thesis, we present an articulated, empirical view on what human music making is, and on how this fundamentally relates to computation. The experimental evidence which we ob…
