The Volume 7, number 2 issue of Organised Sound (http://journals.cambridge.org/bin/bladerunner?REQUNIQ=1082684676&REQSESS=2532907&117000REQEVENT=&REQINT1=138206&REQAUTH=0) was dedicated to Mapping Strategies in Real-time Computer Music and guest edited by Marcelo Wanderley. A collection of ten articles describe several approaches to mapping and give a general overview of the research in this field:

  • Wanderley, M. 2002. "Mapping Strategies in Interactive Computer Music." Organised Sound, 7(2):83-84.
  • Goudeseune, C. 2002. "Interpolated Mappings for Musical Instruments." Organised Sound, 7(2):85-96.
  • Hunt, A., and M. M. Wanderley. 2002. "Mapping Performer Parameters to Synthesis Engines." Organised Sound, 7(2):97-108.
  • Fels, S., A. Gadd, and A. Mulder. 2002. "Mapping Transparency through Metaphor: towards more expressive musical instruments." Organised Sound, 7(2):109-126.
  • Arfib, D., J. M. Couturier, L. Kessous, and V. Verfaille. 2002. "Strategies of Mapping between Gesture data and Synthesis Model Parameters using Perceptual Spaces." Organised Sound, 7(2):127-144.
  • Doornbusch, P. 2002. "Composers' Views on Mapping in Algorithmic Composition." Organised Sound, 7(2):145-156.

  • Levitin, D., S. McAdams, and R. Adams. 2002. "Control Parameters for Musical Instruments: a foundation for new mappings of gesture to sound." Organised Sound, 7(2):171-189.
  • Ng, K. 2002. "Sensing and Mapping for Interactive Performance." Organised Sound, 7(2):191-200.
  • Burtner, M. 2002. "The Metasaxophone: concept, implementation, and mapping strategies for a new computer music instrument." Organised Sound,7(2):201-213.
  • Nichols, C. 2002. "The vBow: a virtual violin bow controller for mapping gesture to synthesis with haptic feedback." Organised Sound,7(2):215-220.

Of related interest, the NIME02 conference presented two (conflicting?) articles on mapping, the first one by Joel Chadabe on "The Limitations of Mapping as a Structural Descriptive in Electronic Instruments" (http://www.suac.net/NIME/NIME02/chadabe_keynote.pdf) and the second by Andy Hunt, Marcelo Wanderley and Matt Paradis on "The Importance of Parameter Mapping in Electronic Instrument Design" (http://www.suac.net/NIME/NIME02/hunt.pdf).

Initial Comments

We have been discussing the issues regarding mapping in this subgroup (http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0101&L=isidm&F=&S=&P=142) and two aspects of mapping have been raised:

  • mapping as a feature of the composition, related to algorithmic composition;
  • mapping as part of the instrument that will be performed.

We've decided to keep the main focus on the second aspect since the main interest of the working group is on interactive systems and instrument design. Paul Doornbusch (mailto:pauld@koncon.nl) suggested a short list of references on mapping as a compositional feature:

  • Dodge, C & Jerse, T "Computer Music"
  • Roads, C. "The Computer Music Tutorial"
  • Roads, C. "The Music Machine"
  • Wishart, T. "Audible Design"
  • Wishart, T. "On Sonic Art"
  • Xenakis, I. "Formalized Music"

Reading Suggestion

Here's a list of basic references on mapping selected by the subgroup's coordinators with input from participants. They're mostly related to general issues of mapping controller variables to synthesis variables in real-time performance systems. Other references are indicated below as extra material for the interested reader. A complete bibliography is available from the mapping subgroup's bibliography page. We suggest that as an initial reading the paper "Towards a Model of Instrumental Mapping in Expert Musical Interaction" (http://www.ircam.fr/equipes/analyse-synthese/wanderle/Gestes/Externe/Hunt_Towards.pdf), since it is a reasonably short paper, where a review of various previous works is made, and one which calls for Mapping to be studied as a subject in its own right.
