UbiBand: A Framework for Music Composition with BSNs

Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual framework, as well as a software platform for assisting the development of sensor enabled music generation using Body Sensor Networks (BSNs). It provides a summary of key considerations that should be taken into account during the development of a motion-generated music application and presents the initial software prototype. A set of mapping rules for real-time BSN-based percussion kit has been proposed and used to demonstrate the practical value of the proposed framework design.
