Improtek: Integrating harmonic Controls into Improvisation in the filiation of Omax
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce ImproteK, a system integrating a rhythmic framework and an underlying harmonic structure in a context of musical improvisation. In the filiation of the improvisation software OMax [4, 3, 13], it is built on the factor oracle structure to take advantage of the particularly relevant and rich characteristics of this automaton in a musical environment [5]. Moreover, it can adapt to a regular beat and produce improvisations following a given chord progression. ImproteK is conceived as an interactive instrument dedicated to performance: its improvisations are based on the style modeling performed on live playing or on an offline corpus. Combined with pattern reuse techniques, this modeling expands on harmonization and arrangement in a harmonic interaction module.

Guided improvisation as dynamic calls to an offline model
This paper describes a reactive architecture handling the hybrid temporality of guided human-computer music improvisation. It aims at combining reactivity and anticipation in the music generation processes steered by a “scenario”. The machine improvisation takes advantage of the temporal structure of this scenario to generate short-term anticipations ahead of the performance time, and reacts to...
متن کاملPlanning Human-Computer Improvisation
Improvisation intrinsically carries a dialectic between spontaneity/reactivity and long-term planning/organization. This paper transposes this dialectic to interactive human-computer improvisation where the computer has to interleave various generative processes. They require different levels of prior knowledge, and follow a coarser improvisation plan driven by real-time interactions with the m...
متن کاملIntroducing video Features and spectral Descriptors in the Omax Improvisation System
Some decisive features have been added to the OMax computer assisted improvisation system: one is a video interface, which makes the virtual clone of the performer not only audible but visible. Another one is a drastic extension of the symbolic world on which the improvisation is built: to an event-driven (basically pianoroll-like) representation has been added another one using spectral descri...
متن کاملOMaxist Dialectics: Capturing, Visualizing and Expanding Improvisations
OMax is an improvisation software based on a graph representation encoding the pattern repetitions and structures of a sequence, built incrementally and in real-time from a live Midi or Audio source. We present in this paper a totally rewritten version of the software. The new design leads to refine the spectral listening of OMax and to consider different methods to build the symbolic alphabet ...
متن کاملAffiliation and Filiation: The Nation-Family in Scott’s Ivanhoe and Anne of Geierstein
This article studies Sir Walter Scott’s use of the family-as-nation trope in Ivanhoe and Anne of Geierstein. The importance of this trope in his figuration of nationhood is discerned by carrying out a close reading of the texts and placing them in their historical context, which primarily consists of a comparison with Edmund Burke and Maria Edgeworth. Consequently, his position is revealed as b...
