On the past March 16th, Goldsmiths EAVI team Atau Tanaka and Francisco Bernardo delivered a workshop on “Interactive Applications in Machine Learning” to the attendees of the International Conference on “Musical Gesture as Creative Interface” in Porto.
About 15 participants engaged with a hands on approach to electromyography and machine learning for music making using RAPID-MIX tools BITalino and Wekinator, and Max for biosignal conditioning and signal sonification using several synthesis and mapping approaches.
The workshop went all the way to a very successful end, with many of the participants achieving the full setup and engaging in joint experimentation with music making out of biosignals.
