DESCRIPTION:
MotusLab Live is a software developed with Max to record and play interpretation of acousmatic music. Acousmatic music is performed on a loudspeaker orchestra named acousmonium. The performer realises an interpretation by distributing the sound on loudspeakers.

This interpretation of Etude élastique (an extract of De Natura Sonorum by Bernard Parmegiani) was performed by Victor Wetzel during the training workshop of Futura's Festival (Crest, France) on Motus acousmonium (2 digital mixing tables, 50 faders, and 80 loudspeakers).

MotusLab Live is a part of research by Nathanaëlle Raboisson (MotusLab, http://motus.fr/recherche/) and Pierre Couprie (Research Institute in Musicology-CNRS and Paris-Sorbonne University, http://www.iremus.cnrs.fr/fr) to analyse interpretation of acousmatic music. The interface of the software presents:
- Bottom: A timeline with audio waveform and fader motions.
- Middle: A visualisation of both mixing tables.
- Right: An interactive map of the loudspeaker orchestra linked to mixing tables (levels of faders are represented through colored circles).
- Top: A movie view of webcam.
MotusLab Live records and plays a recording with automation of faders, thus, the performer can listen to his interpretation.
The software will be available soon as the source code for Max (https://github.com/pierrecouprie)
