Great presentations at Rethinking Sonic Interaction seminar , thanks to Johan Kildal and Lassi A Liikkanen. Here you can find the presentations in pdf;
Johan Kildal, Nokia Research Center: “The Physicality of Sound”
Lassi A Liikkanen, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology, HIIT: “Appropriating YouTube for Music Interaction”
We have been invited to present the sound art projects, “AHNE & Tension”, and interactive dance performance, “Raja”, at the “Design Can Change!” exhibition in Shenzhen, China. This exhibition will be hold from 12th May to 16th Jun 2013 and it is one part of Shenzhen International Cultural Industrial Fair 2013 supported by Shenzhen OCT and New Media Lab Shenzhen, Design and Art school, Hunan University.
Koray Tahiroğlu has also been invited to give talks at the opening of the exhibition and at the Hunan University. The projects that will be presented at the exhibition are the outcomes of the New Interaction Solutions (2012), a joint research project with Nokia Research Center and SOPI research group.
Koray Tahiroğlu will be presenting the “PESI Extended System: In Space, On Body, with 3 Musicians” paper at 13th International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) in Daejeon + Seoul, Korea Republic, May 27-30. This paper is one of the outcomes of the Academy of Finland (pr. 137646), The Notion of Participative and Enacting Sonic Interaction project.

Nuno Correia and Miguel Espada are our new researchers in SOPI research group.
Nuno, is finishing his doctoral studies, now he will be busy with research activities in SOPI. He is developing tools for audio-visual composition and will be responsible for the research and the implementation in PESI project. He will be teaching as well.
Miguel is our new visiting researcher, he is an associated professor at the Department of Computer Science, the Complutense University of Madrid. His expertise in New Media includes 3D mapping, computer vision and physical interaction. He will be working with us until the end of January 2013.

The Radio Channel of YLE (Finnish Broadcasting Company) is interviewing Sound Gloves (2011), a collaborative performance work by Chi-Hsia Lai (SOPI), Carmen Brecheis and Minna Holkkola, carried out in Aalto Media Factory’s Wearable Electronics course. Sound Gloves : wearable musical instruments, featured three different pairs of gloves that were made with a performance goal in mind to further engage and interact with the audience by considering the relationship between the performers and the performance space. The custom-made wearable glove instruments facilitated such a concept as they allowed the performers to freely move around in the performance space without any constraints made by external connections of cables. This performance work attempted to dissolve the distance between the performers and the audience in the performance context.
We have a brief survey intended to explore peoples’ experience with the creative, musical possibilities of smartphones. We are interested in the ways in which people musically use smartphones and their user experiences with different interfaces and ways of interacting with the device. This will allow us to gain insights for the development of future musical systems for smartphones. It will take less than 15 min of your time for all 28 questions. We would like to invite you to participate in this Survey on Mobile Music Interfaces in the following link.
