Paper abstract bibtex

We present HappyBrackets, an audio-focused creative coding toolkit for deploying music programs to remote networked devices. It is designed to support eﬃcient creative exploratory search in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), where one or more devices must be conﬁgured, programmed and interact over a network, with applications in digital musical instruments, networked music performance and other digital experiences. Users can easily monitor and hack what multiple devices are doing on the ﬂy, enhancing their ability to perform “exploratory search” in a creative workﬂow. We present two creative case studies using the system: the creation of a dance performance and the creation of a distributed musical installation. Analysing diﬀerent activities within the production process, with a particular focus on the trade-oﬀ between more creative exploratory tasks and more standard conﬁguring and problem-solving tasks, we show how the system supports creative exploratory search for multiple networked devices, and consider design principles that could advance this support.
