For the author of this chapter, art is a particular way of thinking: it implies the exploring of social and political conditions, not only with the means already provided by academic disciplines, but by finding out new ways to explore, conceptualize, and change them. The chapter describes an art project consisting of an ‘acoustic breakfast’. Sounds of breakfasting were recorded and transformed in real time to make communal interactive music. The author identifies the conflict between artists explaining algorithmic processes to participants and the desire for an informal social situation focussed on eating and drinking. Ideas from literary theorist Shklovsky are used to discuss automatized perceptions and the interest in defamiliarization. Was the acoustic breakfast deautomatizing the computational processes? The chapter discusses the same issue in relation to live coding.

Different Levels

Recursion as a concept can apply to four different theoretical constructs, all of them to some extent independent but with potential points of contact: a) as part of a definition by induction, and thus of possible use to various sciences; b) as a central property of mechanical procedures, as in production systems and merge; c) as a feature of computational processes, when an operation calls itself, yielding chains of deferred operations; and d) as a characteristic of data structures, as in an ‘X within an X’ template. It is of the utmost importance to separate the four meanings and to not conflate them into a single phenomenon; moreover, it is equally important to recognize that these theoretical constructs may well refer to different mental realities that require different levels of explanation/description, in some cases reflecting properties of mental faculties (knowledge base), in others of processing modules (real-time phenomena).

Musical Context

Several algorithms for finding the tonal center of a musical context are extant in the literature. For use in interactive music systems, we are interested in algorithms that are fast enough to run in real time and that need only make reference to the material as it appears in sequence. In this article, I examine a number of such algorithms and the ways in which their contribution to real-time algorithmic listening can be bolstered by reference to concurrent analyzers working on other tasks. Though as part of the discussion I review my own key finder, the focus here is on the coordination of published methods using control structures for multiprocess analysis and their application in performance.

As a painter who inspired many of his successor painters, Goya's work not only was trapped by his establishment as a palace painter but also transformed from a portrait painter to a painter with a subversive theme in accordance with the social situation that occured at the time. Goya is always trying to challenge his creativity by trying to bring unusual and controversial themes that are sometimes againts the authority of the palace and the church. With the background of the Goya's creativity process that are so diverse, it is very interesting if we can observe how the creativity process came up with all things that influence it both from the influence of his personal life, environment and socio-political conditions at that time. Keywords: creativity, transformation, challenge, influences.

AbstractInteractive electroacoustic music that alters or extends instrumental timbre, samples it, or generates sound based upon data generated in real time by the performer presents a new set of challenges for the performing musician. Unlike tape music, interactive music can continuously vary its response and, frequently, performers are unable are to predict how the computer will react. Many, if not most, scores include no visual representation of how the computer may affect the sound of the instrument.Providing performers with a readily accessible visual representation of the sonic possibilities of interactive computer music will provide a conceptual framework within which performers can understand a piece of music. Interpretation of this type of notation by the performer will provide a perspective on how his or her acoustic instrument relates to the digital instrument. This can be especially useful when improvised or aleatoric methods are called for.This paper outlines a system of interactive computer-music descriptive notation that links pictographic representations to the system of spectromorphologies suggested by Dennis Smalley. The morphological notation (MN) uses these morphologies and adds a z-plane to the well-established time-vs-pitch schema. Ideally, MN will not only represent the sound data of the moment, but also will be an intuitive picture of the musical possibilities of a composition's electronic component.

Active music listening is a way of listening to music through active interactions. In this paper we present an expressive brain-computer interactive music system for active music listening, which allows listeners to manipulate expressive parameters in music performances using their emotional state, as detected by a brain-computer interface. The proposed system is divided in two parts: a real-time system able to detect listeners’ emotional state from their EEG data, and a real-time expressive music performance system capable of adapting the expressive parameters of music based on the detected listeners’ emotion. We comment on an application of our system as a music neurofeedback system to alleviate depression in elderly people.

Sequence Transformations

Serial music, which is mainly non-tonal, superimposes compositional freedom onto an unusually rigorous process of pitch-sequence transformations based on ‘tone rows’: a row is usually a sequence of notes using each of the 12 chromatic pitches once. Compositional freedom comprises forming chords from the sequences, and in multi-strand music, also in simultaneously presenting different segments of pitch-sequences. The present project coded a real-time serial music composer for automatic or interactive music performance. This Serial Keyboardist Collaborator can perform keyboard music which is impossible for a human to realize. Surprisingly, it was also useful in making more tonal music based on the same rigorous pitch-sequence generation.

Music Generation

In research on interactive music generation, we propose a music generation method in which the computer generates music under the recognition of a humanmusic conductor’s gestures. In this research, generated music is tuned by parameters of a network of chaotic elements which are determined by the recognized gesture in real time. The music conductor’s hand motions are detected by Microsoft Kinect in this system. Music theories are embedded in the algorithm and, as a result, generated music is richer. Furthermore, we constructed the music generation system and performed experiments for generating music composed by human beings.
