3.6 Multimodality in Human Computer Music Performance<br />

Human Computer Music Performance (HCMP) is the integration of computer performers<br />

into popular live music. At present, HCMP exists only in very limited forms, due to a lack<br />

of understanding of how computer performers might operate in the context of live music<br />

and a lack of supporting research and technology. I believe we need to envision a future<br />

performance practice that involves computers as musicians. An immediate realization is that<br />

non-audio communication is of the utmost importance in real-world music performance. By<br />

thinking about HCMP, we discover many interesting multimodal problems. These include:<br />

music notation and its use as a two-way communication channel in live performance, musical<br />

gestures for conducting and cuing, processing live multi-channel audio, coordination with<br />

video and projections in performance, multiples sensors and modalities for beat and measure<br />

tracking, and semantic processing concerning intention, emotion, and creation in multiple<br />

media.<br />

We presented the project Songs2See that combines multiple music related modalities in<br />

order to assist users while learning a musical instrument. The developed software helps<br />

budding musicians to do their exercises on the instrument they are acquiring. The concept<br />

is similar to music video games; the main difference is the usage of real music instruments<br />

instead of game controllers. The most important modalities are the music score and the<br />

corresponding music recording, but additional, interactive visualizations supplement the<br />

application. We demonstrated the creation of new exercise content by means of semiautomatic<br />

music transcription, where backing tracks, which can be used to play along<br />

with, are extracted from real-world music recordings. This is achieved using symbolic note<br />

transcriptions to initialize the time-varying parameters of a source separation algorithm.<br />

At any stage of the content creation process, the user can intervene and correct possibly<br />

erroneous transcription results.<br />

3.8 Association and Linking of Related Music Information<br />

Many types of music information are available on the Web and in libraries and music<br />

databases, including structured and unstructured text (e.g. biographical metadata); complete<br />

or partial scores (e.g. chords, tabs, lead sheets, lyrics); and recordings of performances (e.g.<br />
