A Virtual Orchestra for Human-Computer Music Performance
نویسنده
چکیده
A virtual orchestra was implemented to augment a human jazz big band with the addition of violins, violas, and cellos. In an effort to maximize musical quality, the orchestra uses a high-quality studio recording of each individual part, yet adapts to the tempo of the band in real time using a custom multi-channel PSOLA algorithm. The tempo is tracked through a foot-tapping interface, with additional cueing that allows for deviation from the nominal score and recovery from counting errors. Output is through an array of 8 highquality studio monitors arranged to provide the illusion of many point sources configured as an acoustic

متن کاملEvaluation of the Mobile Orchestra Explorer Paradigm
The Mobile Orchestra Explorer paradigm enables active experience of prerecorded music: users can navigate and express themselves in a shared (physical or virtual) orchestra space, populated by the sections of a prerecorded music. The user moves in a room with his/her mobile phone in his/her hand: the music performed by the orchestra sections is rendered according to the user position and moveme...
متن کاملExploring Meaning And Intention In Music Conducting
Conducting is a high-level form of expressive musical communication. The possibility of human-computer interaction through a conducting-based interface to a computer performance system has attracted many computer music researchers. This study explores conducting through interviews with conductors and musicians and also through accelerometers attached to conductors during rehearsals with a (huma...
