COMPUTATIONAL MUSIC PERFORMANCE RESEARCH, APPLIED
Project Title: Computational Music Performance Research, Applied
Sponsor: Austrian National Science
Fund (Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung,
FWF)
Project Number: TRP 109-N23
Duration: 36 months (July 2010 - June 2013)
Abstract
This project builds on many years of basic research where we investigated various aspects of expressive music performance with novel computational methods, and developed predictive computer models of performance dimensions such as expressive timing, dynamics, and articulation. In the process, we not only made interesting discoveries about this complex art, but also developed a lot of new computational music processing technology (e.g., algorithms for beat and tempo tracking, audio-to-audio synchronisation, performance visualisation, or performance prediction, to name but a few). The goal of the present project is to build on these methods and develop them to the point where they may become efficient and robust enough for real-world applications.Publications
