/// Xth Sense.
The Xth Sense is a low cost, Open Source-based framework for the application of muscle sounds to the biophysical generation and control of music (or more generally for responsive milieux).
The framework includes a low cost biosensing wearable device, and a modular DSP software (Pure Data-based) for real time capture, analysis and design with muscle sounds.
Donnarumma will be reporting on the methods used during the research, present findings and issues, perspective outcomes of future research, while discussing the aesthetic criteria underpinning the research.
