Oscillations and resonance are essential topics in physics that can be explored theoretically and experimentally in the classroom or teaching laboratory environments. However, one of the main challenges concerning the experimental study of…
Modal synthesis is an important area of physical modeling whose exploration in the past has been held back by a large number of control parameters, the scarcity of general-purpose design tools and the difficulty of obtaining the…
Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) offer fine control, but mapping high-level intent (e.g., "warm the vocals") to low-level edits breaks creative flow. Existing artificial intelligence (AI) music generators are typically one-shot, limiting…
Language-guided navigation is a cornerstone of embodied AI, enabling agents to interpret language instructions and navigate complex environments. However, expert-provided instructions are limited in quantity, while synthesized annotations…
Musical Metacreation tries to obtain creative behaviors from computers algorithms composing music. In this paper I briefly analyze how this field evolved from algorithmic composition to be focused on the search for creativity, and I point…
This Thesis discusses the development of technologies for the automatic resynthesis of music recordings using digital synthesizers. First, the main issue is identified in the understanding of how Music Information Processing (MIP) methods…
In this demo we show a novel approach to score following. Instead of relying on some symbolic representation, we are using a multi-modal convolutional neural network to match the incoming audio stream directly to sheet music images. This…
This paper investigates the importance of personal ownership in musical AI design, examining how practising musicians can maintain creative control over the compositional process. Through a four-week ecological evaluation, we examined how a…
We have built a music similarity search engine that lets video producers search by listenable music excerpts, as a complement to traditional full-text search. Our system suggests similar sounding track segments in a large music catalog by…
Source separation is the process of isolating individual sounds in an auditory mixture of multiple sounds [1], and has a variety of applications ranging from speech enhancement and lyric transcription [2] to digital audio production for…
Refactoring is a maintenance activity that aims to improve design quality while preserving the behavior of a system. Several (semi)automated approaches have been proposed to support developers in this maintenance activity, based on the…
Research on style transfer and domain translation has clearly demonstrated the ability of deep learning-based algorithms to manipulate images in terms of artistic style. More recently, several attempts have been made to extend such…
We present SigniFYI-CDN, an inspection method built from previously proposed methods combining Semiotic Engineering and the Cognitive Dimensions of Notations. Compared to its predecessors, SigniFYI-CDN simplifies procedural steps and…
We present a study that explores the role of user-centred design in developing Generative AI (GenAI) tools for music composition. Through semi-structured interviews with professional composers, we gathered insights on a novel generative…
Static program analysis tools are often required to work with only a small part of a program's source code, either due to the unavailability of the entire program or the lack of need to analyze the complete code. This makes it challenging…
We present the API for MUSICNTWRK, a python library for pitch class set and rhythmic sequences classification and manipulation, the generation of networks in generalized music and sound spaces, deep learning algorithms for timbre…
In Electronic Dance Music (EDM), many artists use DJing techniques in order to perform their own productions live. As a consequence, they do not have access during the performance to the internal structure of their tracks, and specifically…
We introduce Composer's Assistant 2, a system for interactive human-computer composition in the REAPER digital audio workstation. Our work upgrades the Composer's Assistant system (which performs multi-track infilling of symbolic music at…
Real-time tracking of the position of a musical performance on a musical score, i.e. score following, can be useful in music practice, performance and production. Example applications of such technology include computer-aided accompaniment…
We present the findings of a pilot-study that analysed the role of haptic feedback in a musical context. To examine the role of haptics in Digital Musical Instrument (DMI) design an experiment was formulated to measure the users' perception…
