I describe here my experience in interactive and improvised electro-acoustic music after having developed both hardware and software tools using which I compose and perform music. The research in the whole finds the roots in my active involvement in jazz music. This paper analyses the jazz approach to improvisation in terms of the involved components and emphasizes the importance of expressiven...

Interactive sonification can provide a platform for demonstration and education as well as monitoring and investigation. We present a system designed to demonstrate the facilities of the UK’s most advanced large-scale research wave tank. The interactive sonification of water waves in the 'ocean basin' wave tank at Plymouth University consisted of a number of elements: ocean wave generation, acq...

The computer music studios of the composition department at Hanyang University in Seoul, Korea have recently been linked to a newly-created autonomous organization called CREAMA: the Center for Research in Electro-Acoustic Music and Audio. Over the past handful of years the Hanyang University’s studios have been active both nationally and internationally in the realms of electronic and computer...

This short paper will present Vuza, a new functional language for computer music and creative coding. The keypoint of the language is to bring the expressivity and the flexiblity of functional programming to digital art and computer music and make possible to embed such power in host applications. Vuza is a general purpose language with specific extensions for sound analysis and synthesis in re...

In an effort to try to automate the learning of the structure of musical compositions, we recognize that music, like natural language, has a “deep structure” that is difficult to represent. One barrier lies in our ability to even understand the semantics of music. The computer music society is interested in the generation and representation of music, and there are preliminary investigations in ...

This paper introduces a set of design criteria and points of current debate in the development of computer music workstations. It surveys the systems of the last ten years and makes several subjective comments on the design and implementation of computer-based tools for music composition, production, and live performance. The intent is to focus the reader’s attention on the issues of hardware a...
