[PD] Two-dimensional gesture mapping for interactive real-time electronic music instruments

[Thomas Grill]

Hi Luigi, hi Jack,
thanks for your kind words.
I'm not yet performing with the instrument since at the moment it's  
more a worked-out concept with a proof-of-concept implementation. For  
that it's working pretty well, but it still has its rough edges. As  
stated in the conclusion of the thesis i need to develop my skills as  
well as the actual sensoric devices and gesture and sounds  
repertories before i will actually climb the stage with it. I think  
that will take up some more months.
Concerning the patches, i have not yet thought about how to  
distribute all that stuff that has piled up during the course of this  
work. One of the problems is that more functionality than i would  
have liked has had to be realized as (flext-based) externals due to  
performance reasons. Given the trouble i'm having with maintaining my  
already published stuff i don't think it's a good idea to add more to  
it.
The more i think about it, i would rather like to share conceptual  
ideas more than actual implementations - also because i think that  
such an approach as i took could take on many different forms which  
are all interesting and worth exploring. Hence, it's not so much  
about the patches... the top two levels are printed in the thesis  
anyway.

gr~~~
