“Computer Music”
Abstract:
The field of computer music, which has evolved from its origins in early computing technology, analog electronic music, digital signal processing, audio engineering, and the experimental music tradition, represents the nexus of modern creative and technical issues associated with digital audio and analysis. This Special Session features experts at the forefront of several primary research areas:
Software-based sound synthesis
Human-computer interface technologies for performers and composers
Acoustic simulation of auditory environments
Sound spatialization and presentation of electro-acoustic music
Intuitive computer music composition
Computer-assisted music composition and affective music computing systems
Stylistic emulation and modeling of human performers
Music information retrieval
Each panel member addresses ongoing research in these primary points of focus within the broader context of their historical impetus and potential future applications.
