ABSTRACT
Network-centric Music Performance (NMP) enables Internet-based multiparty music performance through cyberspace. Our goal is to support real-time distributed natural audio delivery over the network, using audio compression schemes with exceptional audio quality. Among many challenges, a tight delay bound between the production and perception of the audio is a dominant requirement. The demo video shows a recorded session of a live network-centric music performance demonstration involving a SDSL access network. It demonstrates that musicians can play together smoothly on a virtual stage provided by NMP. Beyond our previous work of realizing NMP in local and wide area research networks, this is the first time NMP has been enabled with a commercially available synchronous DSL access network. The positive ratings by the musicians confirm that NMP is ready for large-scale commercial deployment once such access technology is widely available and affordable to the end users.

Generative model for the creation of musical emotion, meaning, and form
ETP '03: Proceedings of the 2003 ACM SIGMM workshop on Experiential telepresenceThe automated creation of perceptible and compelling large-scale forms and hierarchical structures that unfold over time is a nontrivial challenge for generative models of multimedia content. Nonetheless, this is an important goal for multimedia authors ...
Manipulating music: multimodal interaction for DJs
CHI '04: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper we consider the general goal of supporting physical manipulation of digital audio in a specific context: the performance disk jockey (DJ) seeking to migrate from vinyl to digital media. We classify both the DJ's traditional processes and ...

CULTURECOMPUTING '13: Proceedings of the 2013 International Conference on Culture and ComputingMusic and dancing are two different arts yet inseparable and which can be both powerful expression channels for a society or an artist. In most cases, the rhythm, tempo and performance of a dance depend on those of the music. This paper presents a new ...
