Improvasher: A Real-Time Mashup System for Live Musical Input
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present Improvasher a real-time musical accompaniment system which creates an automatic mashup to accompany live musical input. Improvasher is built around two music processing modules, the first, a performance following technique, makes beat-synchronous predictions of chroma features from a live musical input. The second, a music mashup system, determines the compatibility between beat-synchronous chromagrams from different pieces of music. Through the combination of these two techniques, a real-time predictive mashup can be generated towards a new form of automatic accompaniment for interactive musical performance.

Beat Tracking Towards Automatic Musical Accompaniment
In this paper we address the issue of causal rhythmic analysis, primarily towards predicting the locations of musical beats such that they are consistent with a musical audio input. This will be a key component required for a system capable of automatic accompaniment with a live musician. We are implementing our approach as part of the aubio real-time audio library. While performance for this c...
متن کاملBach in a Box - Real-Time Harmony
We describe a system for learning J. S. Bach's rules of musical harmony. These rules are learned from examples and are expressed as rule-based neural networks. The rules are then applied in realtime to generate new accompanying harmony for a live performer. Real-time functionality imposes constraints on the learning and harmonizing processes, including limitations on the types of information th...
متن کاملDesigning for Cumulative Interactivity: The _derivations System
This paper presents the author’s _derivations system, an interactive performance system for solo improvising instrumentalist. The system makes use of a combination of realtime audio analysis, live sampling and spectral re-synthesis to build a vocabulary of possible performative responses to live instrumental input throughout an improvisatory performance. A form of timbral matching is employed t...
متن کاملAudio Effects for Real-Time Performance Using Beat Tracking
We present a new class of digital audio effects which can automatically relate parameter values to the tempo of a musical input in real-time. Using a beat tracking system as the front end, we demonstrate a tempo-dependent delay effect and a set of beat-synchronous low frequency oscillator (LFO) effects including auto-wah, tremolo and vibrato. The effects show better performance than might be ex...
متن کاملCrossSong Puzzle: Generating and Unscrambling Music Mashups with Real-time Interactivity
There is considerable interest in music-based games, as the popularity of Rock Band and others can attest, as well as puzzle games. However, these have rarely been combined. Most music-based games fall into the category of rhythm games, and in those games where music is incorporated into a puzzle-like challenge, music usually serves as either an accompaniment or reward. We set out to design a p...
