Integrating HyperInstruments , Musical Robots & Machine Musicianship for North Indian Classical Music
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a system enabling a human to perform music with a robot in real-time, in the context of North Indian classical music. We modify a traditional acoustic sitar into a hyperinstrument in order to capture performance gestures for musical analysis. A custom built four-armed robotic Indian drummer was built using a microchip, solenoids, aluminum and folk frame drums. Algorithms written towards “intelligent” machine musicianship are described. The final goal of this research is to have a robotic drummer accompany a professional human sitar player live in performance.

متن کاملMultiple Viewpoint Modeling of North Indian Classical Vocal Compositions
Previous research has shown that ensembles of variable length Markov models (VLMMs), known as Multiple Viewpoint Models (MVMs), can be used to predict the continuation of Western tonal melodies, and outperform simpler, fixed-order Markov models. Here we show that this technique can be effectively applied to predicting melodic continuation in North Indian classical music, providing further evide...
