Expanding human expression for everyone.
Hi! I'm Mari, a violinist, composer, and educator specializing in electroacoustic music. As a professor of interactive computer music performance at The Juilliard School and the University of California, Irvine, I've spent years exploring how technology can enhance musical expression.
I founded MUGIC to bring music to life with movement. Our gestures are one of the most expressive forms of communication, and I wanted to capture that magic without the constant frustrations of soldering, assembling, and programming. MUGIC was born out of a desire to eliminate the technical hurdles of DIY solutions, giving musicians the freedom to focus on what truly matters: creating art.
Freqently Asked Questions
What is MUGIC®? Is it a controller or an instrument?
MUGIC® is a device that enables you to use your movements to control virtually anything in software. You can create sounds, control effects, change lighting parameters, generate visuals, and more. MUGIC® enables you to expand your control over your system and translate your movements into meaningful data.
So, what can I do with MUGIC®?
MUGIC® was originally built with the intention of capturing nuanced physical data to control parameters in music software (like Max and Ableton Live), but you could also use it to control live video, lighting, Ardino projects, etc.MUGIC® uses OSC data via UDP so theoretically anything that can accept or translate this data could be used.
Do I need to be a computer programmer or coder in order to use MUGIC®?
No! We have built a suite of software and devices that will enable you to use MUGIC® without any coding or computer programming experience. We have primarily used MUGIC® with Max and Ableton Live and have made a number of patches and devices available for free download. (Go to Download page) These patches and devices will allow you to easily map MUGIC® data within Max and Ableton. Some experience with Max will certainly help broaden your capabilities, but our patches can be used (and hacked) to achieve fairly advanced results with relative ease.
What computer does MUGIC® work with? (Windows, Mac, phone, Tablets?)
At this time, MUGIC® only works on computers, both on Mac and Windows platforms.
Can I use MUGIC® to control my other hardware and synthesizers?
Yes, if you have the proper tools. You will still need a computer for MUGIC® to connect to, software to manage your data (e.g. MIDI), and an interface that has MIDI capabilities (most do). You simply need to use the “MUGIC® to MIDI patch” (We will soon put them up on the "Downloads page").
