	abstract = {The{\textquotedblleft}Laptop Accordion{\textquotedblright}co-opts the commodity laptop computer to craft an expressive, whimsical accordion-like instrument. It utilizes the opening and closing of the laptop screen as a physical metaphor for accordion bellows, and the laptop keyboard as a musical buttonboard. Motion is tracked using the laptop camera via optical flow and mapped to continuous control over dynamics, while the sound is generated in real-time. The instrument uses both skeuomorphic and abstract onscreen graphics which further reinforce the core mechanics of {\textquotedblleft}squeezebox{\textquotedblright} instruments. The Laptop Accordion provides several game modes, while overall offering an unconventional aesthetic experience in music making.},
