InMuSIC is an Interactive Musical System designed for electroacoustic improvisation (clarinet and live electronics). The system relies on a set of musical interactions based on the multimodal analysis of the instrumentalist’s behaviour (upper-body motion tracking and audio features analysis). The aim is to investigate compositional and performative strategies for the establishment of a musical collaboration between the improviser and the system. During the performance the InMuSIC analyses both the sounds and the movements articulated by the musician. The electronic interventions proposed are therefore generated in relation to the correlation of the two analyses. From a practical point of view, whilst the musician plays a freely improvised session, the system performs five main tasks: movement analysis, sound analysis, sound and movement comparison, decision-making and sound generation. Apart from the motion analysis (EyesWeb platform) all the processes are performed using Max!
