Motion and Sound: Motion Sensing Applications for Multi-Disciplinary  
Performance

Motion sensing is prime technology for interactive multi-media, multi- 
disciplinary performance.  Dr. Dan Hoskin will give an overview of  
his work using various software applications to facilitate  
productions that utlilize electronic media with live dance.  Much of  
his work has been done in conjunction with the Palindrome Intermedia  
Performance Group based in Nuremberg, Germany.

Daniel Hosken's music has been performed in major world cities  
including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Edinburgh, Stuttgart,  
Berlin, Nürnberg, Seoul, and Melbourne. His music has also been  
featured on such festivals as the International Computer Music  
Conference (ICMC), Siggraph, the International Symposium on  
Electronic Art (ISEA), the National Conference of SEAMUS (Society for  
Electro-Acoustic Music in the US), the Florida Electro-Acoustic Music  
Festival, the Seoul International Computer Music Festival, the  
Connecticut College Art and Technology Symposium, and the National  
Conference of the Society of Composers, Inc. (SCI).

Dr. Hosken’s recent work has focused on interactive electronic  
performance in collaboration with the Palindrome Intermedia  
Performance Group. This work involves a camera-based motion tracking  
system coupled with a programming sound synthesis and processing  
environment.

He is currently Associate Professor of Music at California State  
University, Northridge where he teaches courses in music technology  
and composition and manages the Music Technology Lab and Advanced  
Projects Studio.

Hosken holds a D.M.A. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, an  
M.M. in Composition with Academic Honors from New England  
Conservatory of Music, and a B.S. in Music and Physics from the  
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He studied computer music with  
Barry Vercoe, Tod Machover, and Robert Ceely, and composition with  
John Harbison, Stephen Dembski, and William Thomas McKinley.
