The GRIP MAESTRO: Idiomatic Mappings of Emotive Gestures for Control of Live Electroacoustic Music

This paper introduces my research in physical interactive design with my “GRIP MAESTRO” electroacoustic performance interface. It then discusses the considerations involved in creating intuitive software mappings of emotive performative gestures such that they are idiomatic not only of the sounds they create but also of the physical nature of the interface itself.
