BluesMachine

***** Presented at the SIGGRAPH 2009 conference in New Orleans *****

Right to the point:

BluesMachine is a multi-touch guitar-like user interface for 12-bar Blues improvisation.


Explaining MULTI-TOUCH:
BluesMachine can sound up to 2 improvisation notes at the same time.

Explaining GUITAR-LIKE USER INTERFACE:
BluesMachine's Blues scale is derived from the one on the guitar fingerboard. But (and this is an important point) notes out of the scale are not accessible.

Explaining 12-BAR BLUES IMPROVISATION:
You will improvise over a 12-bar Blues accompaniment of (optionally) bass and drums, whose chord progression you can select from a list of 3 very classic ones.

Controls:
- Key: 12 options, from C to B.
- Tempo: from 60 BPM to 140 BPM.
- Turnarounds: from 0 (which means just one series of 12 bars) to 9.
- Chord progression: 3 options available.
- Bass: switch turn-on / turn-off.
- Drums: switch turn-on / turn-off.

We hope music lovers will enjoy training their improvisation skills on the BluesMachine. And even musically untrained people are strongly encouraged to try it.

Play by ear! And if needed, you will find some technical information at the BluesMachine's info button, and more detailed explanation at the BluesMachine's website.
