Gesture control in music performance utilizing live electronics is a topic receiving much development and exploration. The methods and implementations of gestural control vary. Gesture tracking has been used to directly create sounds as in the case of the well-known electronic musical instrument, the Theremin. It has also been used to control processing of electronics in musical works combining acoustic and electronic sounds. This study is mainly focused on the application of gesture tracking techniques combined with performance on acoustic percussion instruments. The first portion of this study is devoted to examining the methods of gesture control that have been developed in order to establish a context for the subsequent sections. Following this overview, available methods of gesture control and the various sensors used to achieve this control are evaluated to determine which of them can be most effectively combined with performance on acoustic percussion instruments. The pairing of gesture control and percussion is of particular interest because unlike many other acoustic instruments, percussion instruments require large physical movements in order to be played. This characteristic makes percussion instruments uniquely appropriate for performance with gesture tracking technologies. The final section of the paper deals specifically with performance issues and considerations encountered in the percussion solo Percussivometers (2014) by Marcin Pa̜czkowski. The piece utilizes an accelerometer worn on each hand in order to detect the motions of the performer. The gestures are then used to control multiple parameters of audio processing and synthesis. The combination of movements required to execute the performance of the acoustic instruments and those required to control the electronics necessitate special consideration and preparation for an effective performance. This paper attempts to elucidate these considerations and offer guidance to musicians exploring similar performance paradigms.

Music Technology in Education lays out the principles of music technology and how they can be used to enhance musical teaching and learning in primary and secondary education. Previously published as Computers in Music Education, this second edition has been streamlined to focus on the needs of today’s music education student. It has been completely updated to reflect mobile technologies, social networks, rich media environments, and other technological advances. Topics include: Basic audio concepts and recording techniques Enhanced music instruction with interactive systems, web-based media platforms, social networking, and musicianship software Administration and management of technology resources Distance education and flexible learning Music Technology in Education provides a strong theoretical and philosophical framework for examining the use of technology in music education while outlining the tools and techniques for implementation in the classroom. Reflective Questions, Teaching Tips, and Suggested Tasks link technology with effective teaching practice. The companion website provides resources for deeper investigation into the topics covered in each chapter, and includes an annotated bibliography, website links, tutorials, and model projects.

Technology revolutionised the ways that music was produced in the twentieth century. As that century drew to a close and a new century begins a new revolution in roles is underway. The separate categories of composer, performer, distributor and listener are being challenged, while the sounds of the world itself become available for musical use. All kinds of sounds are now brought into the remit of composition, enabling the music of others to be sampled (or plundered), including that of unwitting musicians from non-western cultures. This sound world may appear contradictory - stimulating and invigorating as well as exploitative and destructive. This book addresses some of the issues now posed by the brave new world of music produced with technology.

During the twentieth century, electronic technology enabled the explosive development of new tools for the production, performance, dissemination and conservation of music. The era of the mechanical reproduction of music has, rather ironically, opened up new perspectives, which have contributed to the revitalisation of the performer’s role and the concept of music as performance. This book examines questions related to music that cannot be set in conventional notation, reporting and reflecting on current research and creative practice primarily in live electronic music. It studies compositions for which the musical text is problematic, that is, non-existent, incomplete, insufficiently precise or transmitted in a nontraditional format. Thus, at the core of this project is an absence. The objects of study lack a reliably precise graphical representation of the work as the composer or the composer/performer conceived or imagined it. How do we compose, perform and study music that cannot be set in conventional notation? The authors of this book examine this problem from the complementary perspectives of the composer, the performer, the musical assistant, the audio engineer, the computer scientist and the musicologist.

The two-volume 'Oxford Handbook of Music Performance' provides the most comprehensive and authoritative resource for musicians, educators and scholars currently available. It is aimed primarily for practicing musicians, particularly those who are preparing for a professional career as performers and are interested in practical implications of psychological and scientific research for their own music performance development; educators with a specific interest or expertise in music psychology, who will wish to apply the concepts and techniques surveyed in their own teaching; undergraduate and postgraduate students who understand the potential of music psychology for informing music education; and researchers in the area of music performance who consider it important for the results of their research to be practically useful for musicians and music educators.
