About
In Teamwork, an athletic band plays their team’s fight song at a sports game while the fans in the stadium use their mobile phones to continuously change the tempo and the dynamics of the performance. This creates a novel way for fans to engage with the band and with each other as they hear their team’s music.
TeamWork uses massMobile, a smartphone participation system developed at the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology. Its development was supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation as part of a larger research project on musical improvisation in performance and education (NSF CreativeIT #0855758). It was written for the Georgia Tech Athletic Bands.
