We propose an online generative algorithm to enhance musical expression via intelligent improvisation accompaniment. Our framework called the ImprovGenerator, takes a live stream of percussion patterns and generates an improvised accompaniment track in real-time to stimulate new expressions in the improvisation. We use a mixture model to generate an accompaniment pattern, that takes into accoun...

The flotation version of restricted environmental stimulation technique (REST) has been shown to improve perceptual-motor skills in sports and creativity in the sciences. We examined whether these effects would extend to jazz improvisation—an activity involving perceptual-motor coordination and creativity. College students enrolled in an intermediate-level jazz improvisation class (N 1⁄4 8) flo...

Improvisation is a commonly recognised marker of flamenco. Since flamenco musical practice that was traditionally transmitted aurally and often acquired rather than explicitly taught, there no widely accepted teaching methodology for the increasing number participants in this style, even less guidance on improvisation.The aim study to show what structural aspects piece are, which these are open...


 This paper considers the issue of musical improvisational interactions in digital era by pursuing following three steps. 1) I will raise question meaning and value liveness, particular live improvisation, age internet discuss some effects so-called revolution on improvisation practices. 2) Then suggest that made possible web can be understood as kinds practices briefly outline how such a...

Technological systems involving hazards are typically managed by experienced personnel guided by wellformulated, pre-determined procedures. These procedures are designed to ensure that operations proceed in a safe and cost-effective manner. Yet normal operations in these systems are exposed to unexpected contingencies that can require personnel to develop and deploy new procedures in real-time....

This paper describes a system that dynamically generate narratives through improvisation. MEXICA-impro is based on a cognitive account of the creative process called engagement-reflection. Its architecture defines a framework where two agents participate in a simulated improvisation session to generate the plot of a story in which each one draws knowledge from two different databases representi...

This dissertation is concerned with the improvisation of electro-acoustic music from musicological, aesthetic, practical and technical design standpoints. Detailed ethnographic descriptions of the author’s performance experience are offered alongside accounts of software applications which have been developed to support the improvisation of electroacoustic music. A CD accompanies the submission...
