Many aspects of computer-based music notation have been previously discussed. The presented thesis deals with the process of converting a textual description of music into a conventional musical score that can be either printed or viewed on a computer screen. The chosen textual music representation language is GUIDO Music Notation, an adequate, human-readable format, which has been developed si...

Interactive music systems offer new possibilities to support instrumental music teaching by providing a corporeally grounded experience as a basis for understanding music and music playing. In this paper we introduce the Music Paint Machine, a device that enables music performers to make a painting on a computer screen by playing their instrument. It is hypothesized that using this application ...

In the research of interactive music generation, we propose a music generation method, that the computer generates the music, under the recognition of human music conductor’s gestures. In this research, the generated music is tuned by the recognized gestures for the parameters of the network of chaotic elements in real time. The music conductor’s hand motions are detected by Microsoft Kinect in...

10 Computer Music Journal Natasha Barrett is a freelance composer who currently lives in Norway. Her compositional output consists of works for instruments and live electronics, sound installations, dance, theatre, and animation projects, but all her energy seems to stem from her acousmatic composition. In 2006, she received the Nordic Council Music Prize—the most prestigious recognition for a ...

Music has been always an integral part of human culture. In our computer age, it is not surprising that there is a growing interest to store music in a digitized form. Optical music recognition (OMR) refers to a discipline that investigates music score recognition systems. This is similar to well-known optical character recognition systems, except OMR systems try to automatically transform scan...

The use of computers, and of the science of informatics in general, has penetrated into many fields of study related to music. One of the most important fields amongst these is the study of the musical object itself, i.e. music analysis. Computer assisted music analysis is becoming more and more widespread, as computers can cope with extensive amounts of data, do comparative analyses of large m...

This application report describes a real-time MIDI music synthesis system using a low cost digital signal processor (DSP) such as the Texas Instruments (TITM) TMS320C32 in a PC environment. The system consists of a MIDI device with a MIDI interface, an IBM compatible personal computer, and a TMS320C32 development board where the core of the music synthesis engine resides. The MIDI device genera...

We propose a framework for computer music composition that uses resilient propagation (RProp) and long short term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network. In this paper, we show that LSTM network learns the structure and characteristics of music pieces properly by demonstrating its ability to recreate music. We also show that predicting existing music using RProp outperforms Back propagation thr...

The Carnegie Mellon Laptop Orchestra (CMLO) is a collection of computers that communicate through a wireless network and collaborate to generate music. The CMLO is the culmination of a course on Computer Music Systems and Information Processing, where students learn and apply techniques for audio and MIDI programming, real-time synchronization and scheduling, music representation, and music inf...
