Home conducting : Control the overall musical expression with gestures
Anders Friberg · University of Michigan Library Repository · 2005
In previous computer systems for “conducting ” a score, the control is usually limited to tempo and overall dynamics. We suggest a home conducting system allowing an indirect control of the expressive musical details on the note level. In this system, the expressive content of human gestures is mapped into semantic expressive descriptions. These descriptions are then mapped to performance rule parameters using a real time version of the KTH rule system for music performance. The resulting system is intuitive and easy to use also for people lacking formal musical education, making it a tool for the listener rather than the professional performer. 1.
