Performing music is typically associated with various forms of physical movement. This can include playing an instrument, conducting an ensemble, or incorporating dance and dramatic elements in staged productions. With a personal interest in integrating movement into electronic music performances, I have been actively exploring different forms of motion sensing, particularly using accelerometers, within my own musical practice.

I will discuss specific aspects of this technology, with a focus on the practical implications of expressiveness, reliability, and technical solutions. Following the presentation, I will perform my recent piece titled ‘Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed,’ showcasing how these concepts are applied.
