"Research fields: choreophony, choreography of space, choreographic software to generate computer aided dance movements.

choreophony:
Polyphony through choreography. Sounds are triggered, influenced, modulated, distorted, slowed, speeded, made louder or silenced by dancers movements mapped to sound files.

research goals:
- Polyphonic sound layers, generated through several dancers movements, with visual and sensor based motion tracking technologies. If composers composed ballet music, choreophony is a generated soundtrack by the choreography itself.
- Tracking the position of the dancers in space.
- Identifiying movement phrases of dancers over time and dynamics of individidual movement phrases.
- Applying algorithms or mathematical formula to a dance sequence. how would algorithmic generated movement „sound“ like?
