John A. Biles · Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment · 2013
The author has been performing with GenJam, the Genetic Jammer, for nearly 20 years and has accumulated a wealth of experiences in performing live jazz with technology. This paper presents a discussion of the use of technology in jazz, both from the performer’s and from the audience’s perspective, and it proposes a classification scheme for live performance that is geared to mainstream performing situations.
