Abstract:
Musical instruments are transducers that convert forces applied by a human being into a c1~~s of .•.:l
audio signals. With the availability of electronic devices that not only amplify the sounds generated,
but also synthesize music when a small force sufficient to press a button is applied, the notion of
'force' is diminishing; instead, use of gestures to make music has gained more attention in recent
research related to musical expression.
