A Survey and Thematic Analysis Approach as Input to the Design of Mobile Music GUIs

Description

Mobile devices represent a growing research field within NIME, and a growing area for commercial music software. They present unique design challenges and opportunities, which are yet to be fully explored and exploited. In this paper, we propose using a survey method combined with qualitative analysis to investigate the way in which people use mobiles musically. We subsequently present as an area of future research our own PDplayer, which provides a completely self contained end application in the mobile device, potentially making the mobile a more viable and expressive tool for musicians.
