The two main themes of the workshop: gesture in (technologically mediated) music and gesture in sonic interaction design (SID) overlap in many domains. They also represent distinct perspectives and motivations on the various subjects present in the field. Although created for different context, issues of creation of interfaces and systems for gestural sound connect research in SID and music. The main discussion will focus on the state of the art in gesture acquisition, segmentation, analysis, recognition, mapping and interpretation for the different artistic and research practices. The workshop will address this by holding group sessions and general discussions, where specific topics and general questions will be addressed.
