I decided to take the article “Debris: A playful interface for direct manipulation of audio waveforms” as my object of study.
The idea of creating such an interface seemed to me very interesting, I like experiments and different unusual approaches to seemingly familiar things. However, after reading the article and reviewing the materials, I still have some doubts about this product.
In my opinion, this prototype can hardly be called an “interface”, I would say that it is a work of art, in a way. I am not a musician, so I can only judge from my side, but in my opinion, with such an interface it would be difficult to create any particular music, because music is linear in nature, while this product is the opposite. Plus, the interface seemed to me as unintuitive as possible to call it a tool.
But all that I have said above does not mean that I did not like the project, on the contrary, I liked it very much. In my opinion, this prototype is just hard to call an “interface”, I would say that it is a work of art, in a way. I would love to try this innovation, maybe I’m wrong and it may be convenient for musicians and will soon come into use
