Abstract

The design principle of Tangible User Interfaces has been applied to musical interfaces for more accessible usage of computers for musical expression. This paper proposes DropNotes, a tangible user interface for music composition, which utilizes the combination of affordances of familiar objects as metaphorical procedures to manipulate digital audio. By creating more accessible and intuitive user interface for music composition, we target opening up a novel interactive musical expression.
