Using Computer Accompaniment to Assist Networked Music Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a novel scheme for audio communication in synchronous musical performances carried out over computer networks. The proposed scheme uses techniques inspired from computer accompaniment systems, in which a software agent follows the performance of a human musician in real-time, by synchronizing a pre-recorded musical accompaniment to the live performance. In networked settings, we attempt to represent each remote performer participating in the networked session by a local software agent, which adapts a pre-recorded solo performance of each musician to the live music being performed at remote locations.

Computer Accompaniment and Music Understanding1
Music Understanding is the recognition or identification of structure and pattern in musical information. Five music understanding projects are discussed. In the first, Computer Accompaniment of Melodic Instruments, the goal is for a computer system to listen to and play along with a live performer, using a predetermined score. In the second project, the technique is extended to handle polyphon...
متن کاملComputer Coordination With Popular Music: A New Research Agenda
Computer accompaniment is now a well-established field of study, but nearly all work in this area assumes a Western classical music tradition in which timing is considered a flexible framework that performers manipulate for expression. This has important implications for the music, accompaniment, and performance style, and therefore the fundamental design of automatic accompaniment systems. Pop...
متن کاملAutomatic Music Accompanist
Automatic musical accompaniment is where a human musician is accompanied by a computer musician. The computer musician is able to produce musical accompaniment that relates musically to the human performance. The accompaniment should follow the performance using observations of the notes they are playing. This paper describes a complete and detailed construction of a score following and accompa...
متن کاملExpressive Humanoid Robot for Automatic Accompaniment
We present a music-robotic system capable of performing an accompaniment for a musician and reacting to human performance with gestural and facial expression in real time. This work can be seen as a marriage between social robotics and computer accompaniment systems in order to create more musical, interactive, and engaging performances between humans and machines. We also conduct subjective ev...

Music Understanding refers to the recognition or identification of structure and pattern in musical information. Three distinct music understanding projects initiated by the author are discussed. In the first, Computer Accompaniment, the goal is to follow a performer in a score. Knowledge of the position in the score as a function of time can be used to synchronize an accompaniment to the live ...
