Entrain: Encouraging Social Interaction in Collective Music Making

ABSTRACT

Entrain is an adaptive agent designed to stimulate social interaction among users in collective music making. It registers individual user behavior and provides sonic feedback to encourage users to look up from their mobiles and interact with each other. We demonstrate a use case of Entrain in Coloop, a distributed and collective musical instrument.
