Smart musical instruments (SMIs) are a family of Internet of Musical Things devices for music
creation. They are characterized by sensors, actuators, embedded intelligence, and wireless …

The Feedback Cello is a new electroacoustic actuated instrument in which feedback can be
induced independently on each string. Built from retro-fitted acoustic cellos, the signals from …

Self-resonating vibrotactile instruments (SRIs) are hybrid feedback instruments,
characterised by an electro-mechanical feedback loop that is both the means of sound …

The design of a digital musical instrument is often informed by the needs of the first
performance or composition. Following the initial performances, the designer frequently …

Feedback is a process that is common in both acoustic and electronic musical instruments,
but rare in digital musical tools or creative digital tools more generally. This paper examines …

This paper presents the magnetic resonator piano, an augmented instrument enhancing the
capabilities of the acoustic grand piano. Electromagnetic actuators induce the strings to …

Historically marginalised instruments witness and bear vital stories that can deeply affect
identity and galvanise communities when revitalised. We present the proto-langspil as a …

This paper presents ARCAA (Actors, Role, Context, Activity, Artefacts), a framework that
supports designers in understanding the artefact ecology in the music performance …

We demonstrate and reflect on a rebuilding and electronic engineering approach to
augment and electrify a Lego brick model. Concretely, we turn the not musically playable …

If, as several recent papers claim, we have entered a new wave of “Entanglement HCI,” then
we are still at a liminal stage prior to consensus around which sources underpin this …
