We present Push!Music, a mobile music player with wireless peer-to-peer sharing possibilities, and report on some preliminary results from a two-week user study. Our findings show the potential of Push!Music as a new exciting way of sharing music, but do also reveal issues related to privacy.

We developed a rhythmic instruments ensemble simulator generating animation using game controllers. The motion of a player is transformed into musical expression data of MIDI to generate sounds, and MIDI data are transformed into animation control parameters to generate movies. These animations and music are shown as the reflection of player performance. Multiple players can perform a musical e...

The XPod system, presented in this paper, aims to integrate awareness of human activity and musical preferences to produce an adaptive system that plays the contextually correct music. The XPod project introduces a “smart” music player that learns its user’s preferences and activity, and tailors its music selections accordingly. We are using a BodyMedia device that has been shown to accurately ...

There are often situations in which a group of people gather and listen to the same songs. However, majority of existing studies related to music information retrieval (MIR) have focused on personalization for individual users, and there have been only a few studies related to MIR intended for a group of people. Here, we present an Android music player with a music selection function for people...

Executive summary The digital distribution of music grew out of the unauthorized file-sharing phenomenon of the late 1990s. As peer-to-peer networks gained popularity, a digital music value chain emerged comprised of file sharing software, Internet connectivity, personal computers, jukebox software, portable MP3 players, and a community of users providing content. These components were intercha...

This paper introduces MIDI-Connect4, a program that composes music from the unfolding of a board game called Connect4. The system uses evolutionary computation to evolve from scratch a neural network that plays the Connect4 game. Music is produced when a user plays the game against the system. The system generates music by associating the moves of each player with musical forms.

English. In this work, we present an experiment in the modeling of a diachronic termino-ontological resource named CLAVIUS through both the N-ary relations model and the 4D-fluents approach. Some of the salient differences of these two models are discussed. The overall objective of this research is to illustrate the main advantages and disadvantages in the adoption of a given model to build dia...

In order to navigate through music libraries the common practice is to browse through lists of meta data. However, for libraries with thousands of songs a visual view of the library is more practical for browsing. There are standalone applications for music library visualization which use content-based features of the songs. These applications usually lack usability and features compared to sop...

although many researches have investigated the benefits of music in sport, few researches have studied the effect of music on movement recall. thus, this study aimed to identify the effect of motivational music on information recall during the performance of a wrestling skill sequence. 24 male athletes (mean age 21.6±0.9 yr, height 176.4±6.1 cm and weight 67.5±8.4) were trained in 30 skills of ...
