Abstract How can imitation lead to free musical expression? This article explores the role of auditory in jazz. Even though many renowned jazz musicians have assessed method imitating recorded music, no systematic study has hitherto explored how prepares for aural improvisation. The picks up an assumption presented by Berliner (1994), suggesting that learning is “just like” a mother tongue. stu...

Spontaneous musical improvisation in jazz depends upon a substantial cognitive scaffolding that enables the real-time generation of creative structures. This work describes a computational model that simulates sub-conscious learning processes through an evolutionary paradigm.

The purpose of this article is to form a systematic approach the issue choosing methods and forms work with students who study pop-jazz vocals, as well complex professional competencies in art: impeccable knowledge theory, mastery vocal technique, necessary manner sound production, improvisation, purity intonation. research methodology consists application such verbal (conversation, narration, ...

This paper presents a computational model for simulating the behavior of a jazz bass player during live performance. In jazz performance there is a strikingly large gap between the actually played music and the instructions given in a chord grid. Making use of several artificial intelligence paradigms, we try to bridge this gap by considering the two critical points: the experience acquired by ...

Jazz guitar solos are improvised melody lines played on one instrument on top of a chordal accompaniment (comping). As the improvisation happens spontaneously, a reference score is non-existent, only a lead sheet. There are situations, however, when one would like to have the original melody lines in the form of notated music, see the Real Book. The motivation is either for the purpose of pract...

XML is a data model and representation format for semi-structured data. It is becoming the standard for data exchange between web-applications. The access to XML data is facilitated by Web Services, programs over the web that take XML parameters and returning XML results. The increasing popularity of XML and Web Services have led to a new generation of document, called Active XML documents (AXM...

Up-regulation of the dystrophin-related gene utrophin represents a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). In order to re-program the utrophin expression level in muscle, we engineered artificial zinc finger transcription factors (ZF-ATFs) that target the utrophin 'A' promoter. We have previously shown that the ZF-ATF "Jazz", either by transgenic m...

In 1984, Mark STEEDMAN [7] proposed a generative grammar based on six context sensitive rewriting rules able to produce a large variety of blues chord sequences. Later, François PACHET [6] developed a method for analyzing jazz chord sequences. Then, Marc CHEMILLER [4] [5] uses STEEDMAN’s grammar to compose by computers jazz music based upon chord sequences generated by this grammar. About twent...

Musical expertise entails meticulous stylistic specialisation and enculturation. Even so, research on musical training effects has focused on generalised comparisons between musicians and non-musicians, and cross-cultural work addressing specialised expertise has traded cultural specificity and sensitivity for other methodological limitations. This study aimed to experimentally dissociate the e...
