Abstract | Technology has changed so much about how we live, and music is no exception. One of the coolest new ideas out there is an instrument you don’t even have to touch. Just picture it—you move your hands in the air, and music starts to play. The system must be able to tell exactly what you’re doing with your hands, which isn’t always easy. And it must respond instantly any lag between your movement and the sound can totally throw things off. Plus, it takes a lot of processing power to make it all work smoothly. When the author encountered this technology at a music festival last year, the author was mesmerized watching a performer dance with invisible instruments. Her movements were simultaneously the choreography and the composition. The audience could not tell where the dancer ended, and the musician began—they were one and the same. Traditional instruments provide instant feedback; pluck a guitar string and you hear it immediately. Even a 50-millisecond delay in a gestural system can make playing feel like trying to draw while watching your hand in a lagging video call. It's disorienting and destroys the intuitive connection between movement and sound. |
