Human-computer music performances use system that links music and musical gestures (w/ Video)

Human-computer music performances use system that links music and musical gestures (w/ Video)



Every musical sound comes from a specific way that an instrument is played. With modern technology such as sensors, signal processing, and sometimes machine learning algorithms, researchers can determine the precise musical gesture used to produce a particular sound on an instrument. The ability to recreate musical gestures from sounds can be used for interactive human-computer music performances, music transcription, and other innovative applications.

This is work that was done in my lab. How freaking cool is that?
