Abstract
In the community of Digital Musical Instruments (DMIs),documentation surrounding iterative interactions and thecreation of mappings is largely absent from DMI projectsbeyond the recording of a performance or subsequent eval-uation with a performer. This is because the performanceor interactive experience with the instrument is often viewedas the end point for a DMI project, and the descriptionof a mapping or open-sourcing of software considered the‘score’. This paper outlines the creation of a visual no-tation based on unique interactions with the AirSticks, agestural musical instrument. These notations expand onthe concept of descriptive notation, creating a form of ret-rospective score and record-keeping for instrument design-ers. By capturing the intimate experiences and musical col-laborations that contribute to the iterative design of the in-strument, it is concluded the notation system provides anavenue for critical analysis that will aid the further devel-opment of DMIs.
