A Vision of Creative Computation in Music Performance.
Roger B. Dannenberg · ICCC · 2011
Human Computer Music Performance (HCMP) is the integration of computer performers into live popular music. At present, HCMP exists only in very limited forms, due to a lack of understanding of how computer performers might operate in the context of live music and a lack of supporting research and technology. The present work examines recent experimental systems as well as existing music performance practice to envision a future performance practice that involves computers as musicians. The resulting findings provide motivation as well as specific research objectives that will enable new creative practice in music.
