N2 - Music composition is seldom considered a physical activity or embodied experience. As current technologies enable the mapping of movement to musical parameters, the consideration of gesture and movement becomes essential to shaping the identity of a piece. This paper discusses the concept of choreographed sound as part of "kinesonic composition," an approach that foregrounds embodied experience, integrates physical and imagined gesture, kinetic and kinesthetic experience, and sonic elements. It also describes the Remote electroAcoustic Kinesthetic Sensing (RAKS) system, a wearable wireless sensor interface designed specifically for belly dance movement. Discussing three recent pieces that use the RAKS system, the authors outline the bidirectional relationship between movement and music in a kinesonic framework.
