The Musical Metacreation Weekend: Challenges Arising from the Live Presentation of Musically Metacreative Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses the approach to curation of the MuMe Weekend (held in Sydney, Australia, 2013) and the experience the authors gained from hosting the event. We identify open challenges arising from this applied demonstration of musically metacreative systems. Identified challenges are not technical, but rather methodological, concerning pragmatic aspects of presenting and collaboratively innovating musically metacreative work. The paper presents our approach to curating the event, the categories of performances offered – and responses to these – issues to do with the selection and presentation of the work, and issues to do with the evaluation by audience and performers.

This paper will describe the open problem ...

متن کاملCalder's Violin: Real-Time Notation and Performance through Musically Expressive Algorithms
Notation is a central issue in modern western music. Composers have often sought ways of expanding and refining the functionality of notation and, in doing so, have re-shaped the music that they were originally aiming to describe. Other musical traditions have used notation very differently; some have used no notation at all, and have thus created contrasting musical experiences. The role that ...
