Abstract

This paper presents a newly created database containing calibrated gesture and audio data corresponding to various violin bowstrokes, as well as video and motion capture data in some cases. The database is web-accessible and searchable by keywords and subject. It also has several important features designed to improve accessibility to the data and to foster collaboration between researchers in fields related to bowed string synthesis, acoustics, and gesture.
