Only if the emotion is believable and realistic does the animated character become human-like and 'connect' to the perceiver. Over the last years, several attempts have focused on the implementation of a set of basic emotions in the form

In short, it is a way of animating without a screen.
Through documentation and discussion of selected artistic case studies we interrogate the Diasynchronoscope as an emergent new animation medium. Each realized artwork reveals more formalisms and boundaries inherent to creating affective screenless animation. The focus of this paper is how traditional animation informs the Diasynchronoscope and, in turn, how formalisms developed in the Diasynchronoscope may inform current animation practice. The Diasynchronoscope system choreographs time in space by taking time-based techniques from animation and converting them to the spatial. This novel technique has been called the ‘diasynchronic’ technique and the system; the ‘Diasynchronoscope’.

In order to investigate the possible integration of isolated musical features to such a system, a discrete feature known to correlate some with emotional responses – rhythmic density – was selected from a literature review and incorporated into a prototype system. This system produces variation in rhythm density via a transformative process. A stimulus set created using this system was then subjected to a perceptual evaluation. Pairwise comparisons were used to scale differences between 48 stimuli. Listener responses were analysed with Multidimensional scaling (MDS). The 2-dimensional solution was then rotated to place the stimuli with the largest range of variation across the horizontal plane. Stimuli with variation in rhythmic density were placed further from the source material than stimuli that were generated by random permutation. This, combined with the striking similarity between the MDS scaling and that of the dimensional emotional model used by some affective algorithmic composition systems, suggests that isolated musical feature manipulation can now be used to parametrically control affectively charged automated composition in a larger system.
