Abstract

A contemporary challenge involves scientific education and the connection between new technologies and the heritage of the past. CubeHarmonic (CH) joins novelty and tradition, creativity and education, science and art. It takes shape as a novel musical instrument where magnetic 3D motion tracking technology meets musical performance and composition. CH is a Rubik's cube with a note on each facet, and a chord or chord sequence on each face. The position of each facet is detected through magnetic 3D motion tracking. While scrambling the cube, the performer gets new chords and new chord sequences. CH can be used to compose, improvise,1 and teach music and mathematics (group theory, permutations) with colors and physical manipulation supporting abstract thinking. Furthermore, CH allows visually impaired people to enjoy Rubik's cube manipulation by using sounds instead of colors.
