Soma: Live musical performance where congruent visual, auditory, and proprioceptive stimuli fuse to form a combined aesthetic narrative

Artists and scientists have long had an interest in the relationship between music and visual art, leading up to the present-day artform of correlated animation and music, “visual music.” Current live performance tools and paradigms for visual music however are subject to several limitations. The work detailed addresses these through a transdisciplinary integration of findings from several research areas, detailing the resulting ideas and their implementation in three interconnected software applications. This culminates in the art form of Soma, where correlated auditory, visual and proprioceptive stimuli form a combined narrative
