• Lucas Bravo, Pedro Pablo (2023). A Human-Agents Music Performance System in an Extended Reality Environment. Show summary

  This paper proposes a human-machine interactive music system for live performances based on autonomous agents, implemented through immersive extended reality. The interaction between humans and agents is grounded in concepts related to Swarm Intelligence and Multi-Agent systems, which are reflected in a technological platform that involves a 3D physical-virtual solution. This approach requires visual, auditory, haptic, and proprioceptive modalities, making it necessary to integrate technologies capable of providing such a multimodal environment. The prototype of the proposed system is implemented by combining Motion Capture, Spatial Audio, and Mixed Reality technologies. The system is evaluated in terms of objective measurements and tested with users through music improvisation sessions. The results demonstrate that the system is used as intended with respect to multimodal interaction for musical agents. Furthermore, the results validate the novel design and integration of the required technologies presented in this paper.

• Lucas Bravo, Pedro Pablo (2023). Sonic Explorations for 3D Swarmalators. Show summary

  A swarmalator is a type of self-organizing system where agents or particles interact with each other through local rules. The term "swarmalator" is a combination of "swarm," which refers to a group of agents, and "oscillator," which refers to a system that exhibits periodic behavior. In a swarmalator system, each agent has an internal oscillator that determines its behavior, and the agents interact with their neighbors, affecting each other's oscillations and leading to synchronization. This synchronization can result in collective behaviors such as coordinated motion or pattern formation. Both the phase dynamics and spatial dynamics of the oscillators are coupled in swarmalators. Swarmalators are related to the concept of entrainment, which refers to the synchronization of rhythmic patterns in biological or physical systems. Swarmalator systems can be used to model entrainment and the emergence of collective behavior in natural systems. Sonic and musical properties can be explored using the parameters involved in swarmalators, leading to interesting self-organized compositions and emergent behaviors capable of interacting with humans in a synchronized environment. Some of these sonical mappings will be presented for a 3D version of swarmalators, and future directions for interactive music systems based on synchronized swarms will be discussed.
