THC: Autonomy in music interaction

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The Happy Cube [THC] is an interactive musical object. It reacts to human actions taking advantage of cube geometry as a model for music creation. The cube produces a different set of electronic sounds (square waves) depending on the side it is leant on. When turning the cube around, some variations and transformation of the original set will occur. Users can explore the cube sonorities changing the object position against the light source. The happy cube is not dependent of any external system, it has a self-regulated behavior related to a state of autonomy that leads the laboratory, sketching and design processes.
