A Musical Framework with Swarming Robots

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4969))

Abstract

In this paper, we describe an approach to a musical framework with interactions among numerous physical autonomous devices. The devices behave as metaphors of life and self-organize sounds and rhythm. Users can manipulate the system by affecting the interactions of the devices. We implemented the system as two different installations.
