PAPAGEI: An Extensible Automatic Accompaniment System for Live Instrumental Improvisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
PAPAGEI (Parametric-Algorithmic Patchbay-Accompanist Generating Events by Improvisation) is an automatic accompaniment system based on the algorithmic music composition methods of Clarence Barlow and implemented by Salman Bakht. This paper describes the system design and implementation of PAPAGEI. Next, compositional and performance details are described for two pieces that use the PAPAGEI system: resonancia flautomática, by Clarence Barlow and PIANO 04h, by Salman Bakht. Lastly, the capabilities and limitations of PAPAGEI with respect to aesthetic results are described and potential additions to the system and future compositional possibilities are listed.

ImprovGenerator: Online Grammatical Induction for On-the-Fly Improvisation Accompaniment
We propose an online generative algorithm to enhance musical expression via intelligent improvisation accompaniment. Our framework called the ImprovGenerator, takes a live stream of percussion patterns and generates an improvised accompaniment track in real-time to stimulate new expressions in the improvisation. We use a mixture model to generate an accompaniment pattern, that takes into accoun...
متن کاملAutomatic accompaniment for improvised music
Modern music students practice improvisation playing on top of a software that generates accompaniment, but it does not listen to the musician’s input. Automatic accompaniment systems provide appropriate musical accompaniment to a human player in a given musical context by listening to them. We are interested in developing an AAS. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to build a system that...
متن کاملComputer 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 کاملImprovised duet interaction: learning improvisation techniques for automatic accompaniment
The interaction between music improvisers is studied in the context of piano duets, where one improviser performs a melody expressively with embellishment, and the other plays an accompaniment with great freedom. We created an automated accompaniment player that learns to play from example performances. Accompaniments are constructed by selecting and concatenating one-measure score units from a...

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...
