Overview
Welcome to the Clarinet Gestural Analysis Website! Here we present an overview of work being done investigating expressive movements of musicians at the Music Technology Area, Schulich School of Music, McGill University.
We are interested in analyzing the correlation between physical and musical gestures. We specifically focus on expressive movements (also called ancillary or non-obvious gestures), movements that do not have a direct link to the generation of sound, but are an integral part of the performance.
Expected results, in addition to a better understanding of music performance and the role of expressive movements, include the design of new computer-based musical instruments as well as hardware interfaces that take expressive movements into account.
Please check the other sections of this site for an overview of the
project. Some of the results of this research have been published in
various papers -- please check the links part of this
