NLN-live, an application for live nonlinear and interactive instrumental music
نویسنده
چکیده
NLN-live is a dynamic score system for nonlinear and interactive instrumental music performances, based on music technologies used in video games. The goal of NLN-live is to facilitate dynamically controlled collaborative performances that make live interactive video games music possible. The principle of NLN-live is simple: every musician of an ensemble repeatedly plays two fragments of music that are presented on a screen, say X and Y, with the musical content for X and Y being variable and changing, for example, in relation to the interaction with a video game. The continuously varying music fragments are controlled remotely by the NLN-live application, while the speed of these changes is controlled by the conductor. NLN-live has successfully been used with single musicians, ensembles, as well as a symphonic orchestra.

The NLN-Player: A system for nonlinear music in games
Interactive music, in e.g. video games, often tends to be complex both in the creative and the technological part. Video games, that have any interactivity connected to the music, often have simplistic music and music technology. The sounding results vary greatly in quality, both in musical aesthetics and in interactive meaningfulness. One of the interactivemusic strategies available is horizon...
متن کاملA Score-Based Interface for Interactive Computer Music
The creation of interactive computer music often requires composers and performers to work within the paradigms of both instrumental music and responsive electroacoustics. The obstacles inherent in uniting these modes of operation have led the authors to develop an integrated working environment for interactive composition. NoteAbilityPro, a comprehensive music notation application, has been au...
متن کاملReal-time Composition or Computer Improvisation? A composer’s search for intelligent tools in interactive computer music
At several recent conferences and festivals of electroacoustic music, I have been somewhat surprised at the live EA that I have heard. A vast majority of these performances have involved composers sitting behind their computer, clicking on buttons in Max/MSP or SuperCollider, and triggering specific signal processing algorithms, while a musician, playing into a microphone, performs notated musi...

In this paper we present Improvasher a real-time musical accompaniment system which creates an automatic mashup to accompany live musical input. Improvasher is built around two music processing modules, the first, a performance following technique, makes beat-synchronous predictions of chroma features from a live musical input. The second, a music mashup system, determines the compatibility bet...
