This paper reports the current level of development achieved by our research into brain-computer music interfacing (BCMI), which is aimed at special needs and Music Therapy, in addition to the entertainment industry. It surveys the technology developed to date at ICCMR and glances at work-inprogress designs informed by cognitive experiments. Research into BCMI involves three major challenging p...

This is a report of research and some experimental applications of human-computer interaction in multi-media performing arts. The human performer and the computer systems perform computer graphic and computer music interactively in realtime. In general, many sensors are used for the interactive communication as interfaces, and the performer receives the output of the system via graphics, sounds...

Audience participation in computer music has long been limited by resources such as sensor technology or the material goods necessary to share such an instrument. A recent paradigm is to take advantage of the incredible popularity of the smart-phone, a pocket sized computer, and other mobile devices, to provide the audience an interface into a computer music instrument. In this paper we discuss...

How to schedule a desired temporal pattern is one of the most elementary issues to consider when implementing a computer music system, and there already exist several major programming patterns for scheduling. However, such computer music-specific programming patterns seem to not be discussed as frequently as general programming patterns, and thus there may still be some necessity for additiona...

Computer-Aided Design and Applications is an international journal on the applications of CAD CAM.

The aimed at all developers users technology to ptovide solutions for various stages design manufacturing. about technol...

Although a high degree of improvisation is the hall mark of Carnatic music, it still revolves around compositions mostly written in the past 250 years. The music is carried down the generations by oral tradition. A composition may be preceded by or interspersed with improvisations. Carnatic music notation uses the sol-fa (sa ri ga ma pa da ni for the 7 notes) which is written on one line and th...

In this paper, we describe an evolutionary approach to one of the most challenging problems in computer music: modeling the knowledge applied by a musician when performing a score of a piece in order to produce an expressive performance of the piece. We extract a set of acoustic features from Jazz recordings thereby providing a symbolic representation of the musician’s expressive performance. B...
