Connected drumsticks that autonomously produce drum sounds. A person freely waves the sticks in the air to trigger recorded drum sounds and explore how these sounds influence their motion. An Online Gaussian Mixture Model<\/em> learns a dynamic mapping between motion data and drum sounds, leaving controls indeterminate for the person. Somasticks<\/em> thus illuminate the somatic side of drumming practice, by focusing on internal bodily sensations produced by drum sounds.<\/p>\n
