From movement to sound and back: a workshop on movement-based and sonification design approaches

Abstract

Movement and sound are intrinsically connected; movement makes sound and sound makes movement. In this playful workshop we aim to unite sonification researchers, music enthusiasts, sound engineers, with movement experts such as SportsHCI researchers, and beyond to engage in a hands-on exchange. The aim of the workshop is to understand how sound can guide movement, and how movement in turn can guide sound design. We will use movement-based design approaches to reflect on the sound design, and use sonification approaches to further understand movement. We will use a novel movement sonification tool aiding non-sound experts to easily generate and explore movement sonifications.
