Abstract :
The paper describes the way in which tools developed for the performance and analysis of musical gesture can be used in environmental control systems. A conclusion arising from the work suggests that a gestural facility developed by disabled clients for the performance of music, and strengthened through music therapy, can be utilised directly in the interaction with the wider environment, contributing to enhanced quality of life for this group of people
