MEII es un sistema interactivo para la composición musical por medio de la expresión corporal. Se fundamenta en el uso de gestos corporales que se emplean como metáforas para controlar un sistema de estructuras musicales básicas como las escalas pentatónicas (McFerrin, 2009) y la transformación tímbrica (Kinoki). El sistema se ha concebido como una herramienta para favorecer la expresión musical de niños de cuatro a ocho años, sin que se requieran instrumentos musicales o algún conocimiento musical previo. Para su desarrollo se ha prestado mucha atención a las limitaciones motrices de los niños de esa edad y se ha favorecido la experimentación. El sistema se desarrolló usando diversas técnicas de visión por computador, análisis y síntesis de audio digital. El sistema se ha probado con éxito en niños en el rango de edades señalado. A la fecha de esta publicación, se encuentra en fase de evaluación.MEII is an interactive system designed for musical composition by corporal expression. It uses corporal gestures as metaphors to control a basic musical structure system as pentatonic scales (McFerrin, 2009) and pitch transformation (Kinoki, s.f). The system was conceived as a tool to promote the musical expression of children in the range of 4 to 8 years without the necessity of musical instruments or some kind of previous musical knowledge. For its development, close attention has been paid to children’s motor limitations at this age, as well as to the importance of experimentation. The system has been developed using diverse techniques of visualization by computer, digital audio analysis and synthesis. Although it’s been proved with success with kids in that age range, in this moment it’s in an evaluation phase
