Abstract

Electronic music and musical creativity pervades contemporary culture. Music technology thus acts as a mediator, providing creativity support for musical engagement. However, few commercial products and research projects focus on musical collaboration, despite evidence that music, musical engagement and -interaction are deeply embedded into socio-cultural and collaborative constructs. Hence, certain socio-technological processes are not leveraged for this creative task. The goal of this thesis is to support the collaborative creation of electronic music in the form of co-located creativity support systems that utilize multi-touch tabletops. For this, musical practises are analysed and requirements to accomplish this goal are deduced. Based on several viewpoints, it is argued that long-term musical engagement requires both low-thresholds and heigh-ceilings with respect to difficulty. The contributions are subjected to this requirement. Music related topics, such as the control of audio synthesis, groove production and melody creation are approached with respect to structural, perceptional and emotional qualities. Several of the devised methods have been employed in prototypical applications. The appropriateness of each of these approaches has been evaluated in user-studies. The results indicate that these applications can be used to foster creative collaboration and support the understanding of musical domains for novices.
