Recent research on the analysis and synthesis of music performance has resulted in tools for the control of the expressive content in automatic music performance [1]. These results can be relevant for applications other than performance of music by a computer. In this work it is presented how the techniques for enhancing the expressive character in music performance can be used also in the desi...
متن کاملAn Instance Based Model for Generating Expressive Performance during Composition
We detail our work on a multi-agent model for the generation of structurally expressive music performance. It is a combined performance and composition system which attempts to implement the common observation in expressive music performance studies that performers slow down at boundaries in a musical piece, with the amount of slowing down being larger when the boundary is more significant. Bec...
متن کاملMusical Applications of Electric Field Sensing
The Theremin was one of the first electronic musical instruments, yet it provides a degree of expressive real-time control that remains lacking in most modern electronic music interfaces. Underlying the deceptively simple capacitance measurement used by it and its descendants are a number of surprisingly interesting current transport mechanisms that can be used to inexpensively, unobtrusively, ...
متن کاملThe Squeezables: Toward an Expressive and Interdependent Multi-player Musical Instrument
The Squeezables is a computer music instrument that allows a group of players to perform and improvise musical compositions by using a set of squeezing and pulling gestures. The instrument, comprised of six squeezable and retractable gel balls mounted on a small podium, addresses a number of hardware and software challenges in electronic music interface design. It is designed to provide an alte...
متن کاملMusical Tempo Curves
Timing models are essential to a variety of music related applications. In the field of performance research they facilitate the analysis of music interpretations. For performance synthesis they are essential for creating expressive performances. This paper details our approach to modelling musical tempo. An important issue is the description and implementation of continuous tempo transitions. ...
