Current DJ interfaces lack direct support for typical digital communication common in social media. We present a novel DJ interface for live internet broadcast performances with remote audience feedback integration. Our multi-touch interface is designed for a table top display, featuring a timeline based visualization. Two studies are presented involving seven DJs, culminating in four live broadcasts gathering and analyzing data to better understand both the DJ and audience perspective. This study is one of the first to look closer at DJs and remote audiences. We present useful insight for future interaction design between DJs and remote audiences, and interface integrated audience feedback.
This article presents an analysis of the orchestration strategies used in Simon Steen-AndersenDouble Upfor sampler and orchestra. The analysis examines the relation between the 121 samples that make up the work’s electronic soundtrack and the orchestral imitation of these samples. The relation between the concept of the piece and its orchestration is summed up in six strategies: scoring the audio recordings, supplements, additive orchestration, chamber music orchestration, anonymization, and pre-orchestration. These strategies are presented as a qualification of the word “satisfactory” inGrove Music Online’s definition of orchestration as the art of combining instruments “to form a satisfactory blend and balance.” Furthermore,Double Up’s contribution to the use of sampling in orchestral music is evaluated.
