Abstract

The growing popularity of mobile devices gave birth to a still emergent research field, called Mobile Music (music with mobile devices). Our particular research investigates such repurposing of ordinary mobile devices for use in musical activities. In this paper we propose the use of patterns in the design of musical interaction with these devices. We introduce the musical interaction patterns that came out of our investigation so far, and describe the exploratory prototypes which served as inspiration and, at the same time, as testbed for these proposed interaction patterns.
