چکیده

Computer music systems can interact with humans at different levels, including scores, phrases, notes, beats, and gestures. However, most current systems lack basic musical skills. As a consequence, the results of human-computer interaction are often far less musical than the interaction between human musicians. In this paper, we explore the possibility of learning some basic music performance skills from rehearsal data. In particular, we consider the piano duet scenario where two musicians expressively interact with each other. Our work extends previous automatic accompaniment systems. We have built an artificial pianist that can automatically improve its ability to sense and interact with a human pianist, learning from rehearsal experience. We describe different machine learning algorithms to learn aspects of expressive timing and dynamics for duet interaction, explore the properties of the learned models, such as dominant features, limits of validity, and minimal training size, and claim that a more human-like interaction is achieved.

Improvised duet interaction: learning improvisation techniques for automatic accompaniment

The interaction between music improvisers is studied in the context of piano duets, where one improviser performs a melody expressively with embellishment, and the other plays an accompaniment with great freedom. We created an automated accompaniment player that learns to play from example performances. Accompaniments are constructed by selecting and concatenating one-measure score units from a...

The importance of integration and top-down salience when listening to complex multi-part musical stimuli

In listening to multi-part music, auditory streams can be attended to either selectively or globally. More specifically, musicians rely on prioritized integrative attention which incorporates both stream segregation and integration to assess the relationship between concurrent parts. In this fMRI study, we used a piano duet to investigate which factors of a leader-follower relationship between ...

Segregation and Integration of Auditory Streams when Listening to Multi-Part Music

In our daily lives, auditory stream segregation allows us to differentiate concurrent sound sources and to make sense of the scene we are experiencing. However, a combination of segregation and the concurrent integration of auditory streams is necessary in order to analyze the relationship between streams and thus perceive a coherent auditory scene. The present functional magnetic resonance ima...

Supporting Compositional Creativity Using Automatic Style-Specific Accompaniment

In this paper, we described an automatic style-specific accompaniment system and an interactive user interface designed to support creative music composition. With the use of both music theoretical knowledge and statistical learning, the system provides users with an easy start by suggesting a refined accompaniment based on the examples given by users. The interactive user interface allows user...

Correct Automatic Accompaniment Despite Machine listening or Human errors in Antescofo

Automatic accompaniment systems are comprised of realtime score following systems that in reaction to recognition of events in a score from a human performer, launch necessary actions for the accompaniment section. While the realtime detection of score events out of live musicians’ performance has been widely studied in the literature, score accompaniment (or the reactive part of the process) h...
