How can interactive technologies provide a contribute to enhance musical performances to convey emotions? The seminar is intended to offer a practical perspective on the conjunction between creative computing and musical performances. Vito Perrini and a group of students of the course of Creative Programming and Computing worked together to create a performance that will provide a contribute to the overall thinking raised by the question. In the first part of the seminar, Vito Perrini will cover various aspects of the use of percussions in the process of conveying emotions by exploring rhythmic and timbral aspects and the students will provide an overview on the creative computing techniques implemented for the performance. The interactive performance will end the seminar. A special talk will be also given by Jean Paul Carradori, well known international light and set designer. The talk will be a contribute on the use of innovative technologies in art with a special focus on light design.

So audio triggers some elements of confusion on the screen, too.
