Exploring the synergy between live electronic music performance and tabletop interaction

Sergi Jorda is a physicist and an expert on computer science and digital communication.

He is also a researcher in the Music Technology Group of Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, where he coordinates the research in "Musical and Advanced Interaction, and teaches computer music, HCI, and interactive media arts.

Sergi will introduce Reactable – a new electronic musical instrument which enables musicians to experiment with sound, change its structure, control its parameters and be creative in a direct, refreshing and unseen way. It uses a tabletop tangible interface, which allows the performers to control the system by manipulating tangible objects and with their fingers.
