Ferin Martino: A Small Piano Algorithm and Its Lessons on Creativity, Interaction, and Expression
نویسنده
چکیده
The process of developing and making music with Ferin Martino, a piano-playing software algorithm has opened up a number of inquiries surrounding modern performance and creativity. Although it is relatively simple program, it is capable of much unique, expressive output that maintains a consistent style. Instead of constructing musical passages note by note, its musical character arises from its structure, independent of content. Recombination of previously-played material ensures that the first randomly generated notes end up yielding musically and stylistically coherent passages without compromising the variety of musical material produced. A flow of pseudorandom numbers is disturbed by motion in front of a camera, making the music responsive to its surroundings. Human-machine collaboration with this system has been effective in a variety of applications ranging from background music to computer-aided composition and live performance. A brief explanation of the algorithm is followed by explorations of its resulting character; strengths and challenges; and perspectives it inspires on the relationships between humans and machines and on twenty-first cen-

A laboratory investigation on the potential of computational intelligence approaches to estimate the discharge coefficient of piano key weir
The piano key weir (PKW) is a type of nonlinear control structure that can be used to increase unit discharge over linear overflow weir geometries, particularly when the weir footprint area is restricted To predict the outflow passing over a piano key weir, the discharge coefficient in the general equation of weir needs to be known. This paper presents the results of laboratory model testing of...

متن کاملDeveloping a Virtual Piano Playing Environment
In this paper the framework for a multimedia platform called ADRI is described which aids in playing the piano. A 3Dpiano with visualisation of notes was built in a virtual environment and connected with a real synthesizer using Midi to interact with a user. Multiple users can play together on the virtual piano in this 3D environment from different locations. Multiple agents were made, each wit...
