VR Algorave DJ

Client: Matthew Johnson, Frontier <mjohnson@frontier.co.uk>

Why can't a DJ be more like an orchestra conductor, remixing instrumental sections and adding new expressive content, instead of simply selecting from a library of prerecorded tracks? In the future this will be possible, using gesture controllers in virtual reality. We can provide a Myo gesture control armband. Your task is to create a VR space in which the DJs of the future will edit and configure algorave-style music synthesis programs. You can use APIs for the Sonic Pi music language from Cambridge's Sam Aaron as a back end to produce professional-standard musical results. We can provide an Oculus Rift for an immersive experience (and some professional audio gear for the demonstration day).
