Abstract

We present a framework for coupling musical robots with interfaces based on open-ended control architecture, allowing for new and expanded forms of expression. The MahaDeviBot allows for a single performer to simultaneously control up to 12 drums. The ESitar doubles both as a multi input control interface, and as a traditional sitar. Finally, the BricKTable represents a completely open-ended control interface possible of multi user interaction, and real-time control data feedback.
