Composing Music on Paper & Computers : Musical gesture Recognition by Bobby owolabi
Despite technological breakthroughs in computing technology in the last few decades, paper is being used increasingly . This is especially true in artistic and creative disciplines, such as music, where paper tends to be utilized a great deal. This state of affair exists because of the complementary set of affordances that paper and digital documents provide. Paper is portable, flexible and inexpensive ; while, digital documents are easy to transmit, store and modify. For instance, when a composer is in the early stages of creating a musical piece, it is far easier to take out a sheet of paper on the spark of inspiration, rather than a technological device, because one can express themselves on paper quicker than waiting for a device to load.
