Emerging practices in sonic interaction are a fertile field of investigation on the ways sound can mediate everyday embodied, technological and social actions. Augmenting everyday objects with digital sound and sensor technologies allows us to create scenarios of expressive sonic processes. From sonic knives to musical basketballs, sonic augmentation affords creativity, functional design and exploration of new possibilities of actions in the technologically augmented everyday. This talk will present the phenomenological basis of embodiment, the psychological basis of affordance, to interrogate the potential of musical and sonic affordance, arriving at the notion of embodied sonic cognition and a series of user centered design workshops to develop this idea.
