Wearable music curriculum

Unit	Student Project	Activities
Micro-controllers	Wearable ideation and preliminary project proposal.	IMUs, filters, calibration, Arduino IDE, M5Stick-C API, Wi-Fi networking, OSC/UDP. Concept applications: sonification for sensorimotor learning, connection without a screen, and embodied sensemaking.
Interactive Sound	Wearable musical instrument employing one-to-many mapping.	Wavetable synthesis, musical arpeggiation, granular synthesis, loop manipulation, sample “scratching,” variable delay lines, basic procedural audio (e.g., fire and jet engine), sound design concepts (spectral space, density, stepwise vs. continuous motion).
Space–time	Design exercise: creatively implement windowing, event detection, entrainment, or a relational instrument using two IMUs.	Connect multiple sensors, relational models (spread of arms) telematic relational models (split exciter/resonator), physical models of interaction (e.g., water pouring), collectively playable instruments (e.g., shared control of granular synthesis), event detection (sonification of footsteps on ice, snow, gravel), emergent coordination (telematic clapping, splashing in virtual shared pool), windowing to track activity over time (periodicity, coefficient of variation, moving average offset removal for linear acceleration), entrainment (tracking beat, density, stability), creative use of integration (“winding up” potential energy), phasing patterns.
Experiential Design	Final project (open-ended).	Weekly sessions alternate between labs for individual projects and collectively playable telematic wearable music experiments.
