Challenges and Prospects in Remote Cross-cultural Musical Interface Design

  • Abstract
    • Roles in the context of live-electronic music performance are often overlapping. We used a cross-cultural collaboration between a Vietnamese live-electronic composer-performer and a German instrument maker to study the development of roles. We followed the approach of building a digital music instrument inspired by existing acoustic instruments and conducted a case study with the task of developing a granular effect sample player, the Grain Bau, inspired by the Vietnamese monochord zither đàn Bầu. We analyzed the milestones, tasks and remote collaboration strategies and assessed the depth of participation. We found that in-person collaborative work tended to dissolve role definitions, while remote working emphasised them. We examine our strategies for remote working and discuss the influence of gender on our role development.
