METAMUSIC

metamusic aims to develop interactive sound installations and electronic instruments for animals held in captivity. The project's target is to improve the animals' quality of life, by designing an interactive musical environment that takes the specific needs and skills of the animals into consideration. metamusic, developped by the artists' group alien productions in collaboration with the zoologists and animal keepers of the ARGE Papageienschutz , centers its attention on grey parrots... In ongoing collaboration of the Tangible Music Lab,University of Art and Design Linz and alien productions we aim to develop metamusic a step further: we will build electronic sound installations to be used by the animals themselves.
