But why??
Predictive Musical Interaction
- How can musical instruments
be more “intelligent”?
- What would that mean for
musicians, music making, and music?

Music and Research
we make new musical instruments, measure musical experiences, find new ways to express
- urselves with technology.
Why?
- Expression and creativity is important.
- Music is everywhere; people care about it.
- Music is hard; realtime, high standards.
- It’s fun.
You don’t have to be a professional musician to do a great musical project!

Representations of Music
Thin Medium? Thick
folkRNN Performance RNN WaveNet
Theme: Creative Machine Learning
- Using Deep Learning to represent
and create music and art!
- Compose music for video games?
- Mobile apps that generate music
endlessly!
- MIREX Competition Tasks - music
information retrieval
- Techniques: Deep Learning,
Recurrent Networks, Convolutional Networks,
Theme: Intelligent Instruments
How can we integrate ML/AI into NIMEs?
- Help users make better music.
- “Guess” intentions (key, scale,
harmony).
- Generate extra sounds (ensemble
experience) using ANNs or evolution.
- Make sound/music in response to
sensors/cameras (sonification).
- Challenge/fun here is interacting with
ML algorithms.
Data → ML → Interaction!
Theme: Embedded Instruments
- Use microcontrollers /
single board computers to make stand-alone NIMEs
- Includes prototyping,
hardware creation, programming.
- Could be for augmented
instruments as well?
- e.g.,
Theme: Social Music Making
How can music bring people together?
- Make “ensemble” playing easier.
- Instruments that change to
support “parts” in a group.
- Asynchronous music making:
performing as a group via facebook or the web

MusicLab vol. 3: Rhythm
MusicLab Vol. 3 explores the phenomenon of rhythm
- in music and in the body - all within MusicLab’s
unique blend of research and edutainment through and intellectual warm-up with world-leading experts, music-dance performances and data jockeying with
- ur house DJ and anyone else interested.
