Abstract

This paper describes the Ashitaka audiovisual instrument and the process used to develop it. The main idea guiding the design of the instrument is that motion can be used to connect audio and visuals, and the first part of the paper consists of an exploration of this idea. The issue of mappings is raised, discussing both audio-visual mappings and the mappings between the interface and synthesis methods. The paper concludes with a detailed look at the instrument itself, including the interface, synthesis methods, and mappings used.
