  abstract = {The group experience of synchronisation is a key aspect
                  of ensemble musical performance. This paper presents
                  a number of strategies for syncing performance
                  information across networked iPad-instruments to
                  enable creativity among an ensemble of improvising
                  musicians. Acoustic instrumentalists sync without
                  mechanical intervention. Electronic instruments
                  frequently synchronise rhythm using MIDI or OSC
                  connections. In contrast, our system syncs other
                  aspects of performance, such as tonality, instrument
                  functions, and gesture classifications, to support
                  and enhance improvised performance. Over a number of
                  performances with an iPad and percussion group,
                  Ensemble Metatone, various syncing scenarios have
                  been explored that support, extend, and disrupt
                  ensemble creativity.},
