Steve Reich's Clapping Music

[Marcus Pearce <marcus.pearce@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All (with apologies for cross-posting),

We have released a free app for iPhone/iPad which introduces a 
game-based approach to learning to perform Clapping Music, a composition 
by the American minimalist composer Steve Reich. The app is available on 
the Apple app store - for a direct link see http://clappingmusicapp.com

The app is part of our research project on developing skill in rhythm 
production, for which we're recording and analyzing accuracy data from 
the game (completely anonymously). It has proved to be quite compelling 
(addictive for some) and the highest score so far is 28491.

For more on the research, see

The project is a collaboration with the London Sinfonietta and 
Touchpress, and is supported by Nesta, the Arts & Humanities Research 
Council and Arts Council England.
