Guitarists struggle to play their instruments while simultaneously using additional computing devices (i.e., encumbered interaction). We explored designs with guitarists through co-design and somaesthetic design workshops, learning that they (unsurprisingly) preferred to focus on playing their guitars and keeping their instruments’ material integrity intact. Subsequently, we devised an interactive guitar strap controller, which guitarists found promising for tackling encumbered interaction during instrumental transcription, learning and practice. Our design process highlights three strategies: considering postural interaction, applying somaesthetic design to interactive music technology development, and augmenting guitar accessories.

In this article, we develop a hypothesis on the role of spectral entropy in conveying a sensation of termination for short musical fragments. We tested the hypothesis in an experiment presenting spectral sequences involving sounds categorised in three families (pitch, bell, or noise) and asked 64 participants to rate their levels of closure in a Likert scale with five degrees. The results highlight an agreement by all participants to consider stimuli transiting from organised (e.g. pitch) to disorganised spectra (e.g. bells, noise) as more complete than transitions from the opposite direction.
