Sometimes people were ballroom dancing, other times people were dancing in conga lines, and other times people were moving in much more chaotic ways.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe musicians\u0027 notes were generated in real-time by computers that were using cameras mounted on the ceiling to track the location of the audience members.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFreeman says he\u0027s interested in engaging audiences that might not usually interact with the composing process or even attend a live performance.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of Freeman\u0027s recent online applications is called Graph Theory, a solo violin piece. People are able to visit a Web site and reorder fragments of the piece. The decisions are then collected to create a new piece that is then performed in a live concert.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFreeman says his future research will include how mobile devices can allow people to interact with each other and interact with the space around them in new kinds of ways.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0022So little of how we experience music these days is in a live performance,\u0022 said Freeman. \u0022So it is important to me to infiltrate the ways we do experience music and reflect upon those through my work and through my research.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EMusic Technology Professor Jason Freeman is exploring new ways for audiences to interact with performers.
