Interacting with music in a social setting

This paper describes the design of a new system for interacting with music in a social setting. MusiCocktail allows users to influence certain parameters of a pre-composed and pre-recorded piece of music in the way they mix their beverages at a social gathering. This new form of interaction with music enables group participation in the creation of a rich musical environment.
