Musician Maker: Play expressive music without practice
نویسنده
چکیده
Musician Maker is a system to allow novice players the opportunity to create expressive improvisational music. While the system plays an accompaniment background chord progression, each participant plays some kind of controller to make music through the system. The program takes the signals from the controllers and adjusts the pitches somewhat so that the players are limited to notes which fit the chord progression. The various controllers are designed to be very easy and intuitive so anyone can pick one up and quickly be able to play it. Since the computer is making sure that wrong notes are avoided, even inexperienced players can immediately make music and enjoy focusing on some of the more expressive elements and thus become musicians.

'PegLegs in Music' - Processing the Effort Generated by Levels of Expressive Gesturing in Music
In this paper we discuss the possibility of augmenting existing musical performance by using a novel sensing device termed ‘PegLeg’. This device interprets the movements and motions of a musician during play by allowing the musician to manipulate a sensor in three dimensions. A force sensitive surface allows us to detect, interpret and interface the subtle but integral element of physical “effo...
متن کاملEmotional Cues in Knocking Sounds
Background Acoustics features in music and sound and their connection to body gestures have already been investigated in previous scientific studies, such in the case of musician movements while playing an instrument, or footstep sounds. It has also been proved that humans are able to visually identify emotions in gestures only as suggested for example by previous studies on musician and non-mu...
متن کاملModeling Expressive Music Performance in Jazz
In this paper we describe a machine learning approach to one of the most challenging aspects of computer music: modeling the knowledge applied by a musician when performing a score in order to produce an expressive performance of a piece. We apply machine learning techniques to a set of monophonic recordings of Jazz standards in order to induce both rules and a numeric model for expressive perf...

In this paper, we describe an evolutionary approach to one of the most challenging problems in computer music: modeling the knowledge applied by a musician when performing a score of a piece in order to produce an expressive performance of the piece. We extract a set of acoustic features from Jazz recordings thereby providing a symbolic representation of the musician’s expressive performance. B...
