iFP: A Music Interface Using an Expressive Performance Template
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a performance interface called iFP that enables players to play music as if he or she had the hands of the virtuoso. iFP is a tapping-style musical interface and refers to a pianist's expressiveness described in a performance template. The paper describes the scheduler that allows a player to mix her/his own intension with the expressiveness in the performance template and the user interfaces. The results of a subjective study suggest that using the expression template and the tapping-style interface contribute to the subject’s joy of playing music. This result is also supported by a brain activation study that was done using near-infrared spectroscopy.

Using an Expressive Performance Template in a Music Conducting Interface
This paper describes an approach for playing expressive music, as it refers to a pianist's expressiveness, with a tapping-style interface. MIDI-formatted expressive performances played by pianists were first analyzed and transformed into performance templates, in which the deviations from a canonical description was separately described for each event. Using one of the templates as a skill comp...
متن کاملThe "Air Worm": an Interface for Real-Time manipulation of Expressive Music Performance
Expressive performance of traditional Western music is a complex phenomenon which is mastered by few, and yet appreciated by many. In this paper we explore various ways of interacting with expressive performances using methods that are accessible to non-expert music-lovers. The key idea is that a non-expert cannot control the vast range of parameters which musicians use to create expression; th...
متن کاملPerformance visualzation – A new challenge to music through visualization
This paper describes performance visualization with its purposes, significance, and our prototype system. Performance visualization provides us with a new user interface for music systems, a non-subjective explanation and judgment for musical expression, and a visual aid to understand, analyze, and compare performances and their musical structures. It will also introduce a more challenging rese...
متن کاملAVA: A Graphical User Interface for Automatic Vibrato and Portamento Detection and Analysis
Musicians are able to create different expressive performances of the same piece of music by varying expressive features. It is challenging to mathematically model and represent musical expressivity in a general manner. Vibrato and portamento are two important expressive features in singing, as well as in string, woodwind, and brass instrumental playing. We present AVA, an off-line system for a...
متن کاملTowards an Affective Gesture Interface for Expressive Music Performance
This paper discusses the use of ‘Pogany’, an affective anthropomorphic interface, for expressive music performance. For this purpose the interface is equipped with a module for gesture analysis: a) in a direct level, in order to conceptualize measures capable of driving continuous musical parameters, b) in an indirect level, in order to capture high-level information arising from ‘meaningful’ g...
