Abstract:

This talk presents a musical accompaniment system, known interchangeably as "Music Plus One" and the "Informatics Philharmonic," which plays a flexible accompaniment that follows a live soloist in a concerto setting. The program "listens" to the live player using an HMM, making real-time decisions based on the filtered distribution of the player's score position. A separate "thread" of the program predicts the times of future musical events using a Gaussian graphical model that both incorporates basic musical notions of timing and can adapt in a manner analogous to "rehearsing." In live performance a prerecorded orchestra-only recording is resynthesized using phase-vocoding to accommodate the predictions of the timing model. The talk will contain a live demonstration of the system as well as discussion of future directions.
