This paper expands upon our previous research in the field of BrainComputer Music Interfacing and reports on tools for performance and composition controlled via brainwave activity in development at ICCMR, University of Plymouth. Our approach measures electroencephalogram (EEG) data elicited via generating Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) to allow for real-time control of musical p...

With the creation of large audio collections, available on small portable devices or via Web portals, new ways for interacting with these collections need to be devised. Retrieving specific songs, or navigating through such audio repositories, relying on the way music sounds rather than on metadata tags, poses challenging problems. This paper presents the SOMeJB system, which builds on features...

abstract this article tries to have a look at 40 images which shows ood player in sasani to safavi periods. these images can be considered as documents for more information about ood instrument. permanent elements in these images are the base of the analysis in this research. two types of figures were being considered as permanent elements: basic figure and non basic figure. in this research ba...

This paper discusses the concept of using background music to control video game parameters and thus actions on the screen. Each song selected by the player makes the game look different and behave variedly. The concept is explored by modifying an existing video game and playtesting it with different kinds of MIDI music. Several examples of mapping MIDI parameters to game events are presented. ...

McBlare is a robotic bagpipe player developed by the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. McBlare plays a standard set of bagpipes, using a custom air compressor to supply air and electromechanical “fingers” to control the chanter. McBlare is MIDI controlled, allowing for simple interfacing to a keyboard, computer, or hardware sequencer. The control mechanism exceeds the measured s...

This paper describes a performance interface called iFP that enables players to play music as if he or she had the hands of the virtuoso. iFP is a tapping-style musical interface and refers to a pianist's expressiveness described in a performance template. The paper describes the scheduler that allows a player to mix her/his own intension with the expressiveness in the performance template and ...

We present a new software application for ChucK programming and performance on mobile touchscreen devices, miniAudicle for iPad. This application seeks to accommodate keyboard-based music software development as well as explore new music programming possibilities enabled by touch interfaces. To this end, it provides a textual code Editor mode optimized for touchscreen typing, a live-codingorien...

Background music is often used to generate a specific atmosphere or to draw our attention to specific events. For example in movies or computer games it is often the accompanying music that conveys the emotional state of a scene and plays an important role for immersing the viewer or player into the virtual environment. In view of home-made videos, slide shows, and other consumer-generated visu...

This paper describes a system enabling a human to perform music with a robot in real-time, in the context of North Indian classical music. We modify a traditional acoustic sitar into a hyperinstrument in order to capture performance gestures for musical analysis. A custom built four-armed robotic Indian drummer was built using a microchip, solenoids, aluminum and folk frame drums. Algorithms wr...

We present a system for collaborative musical creation on mobile wireless networks. The work extends on simple peer-to-peer file sharing systems towards ad-hoc mobility, streaming, and collaborative creation. It extends music listening from a passive act to a proactive, participative activity. The system consists of a network based interactive music engine and a mobile rendering player. It serv...
