Computer Music

The Computer Music Project at CMU develops computer music and interactive performance technology to enhance human musical experience and creativity. This interdisciplinary effort draws on Music Theory, Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Human Computer Interaction, Real-Time Systems, Computer Graphics and Animation, Multimedia, Programming Languages, and Signal Processing.

Past Projects

	Aura: Real time distributed middleware for interactive multimedia performance
	Structure Analysis: Automatic analysis of music structure from audio
	McBlare: A Robotic Bagpipe Player McBlare is alive and well, and continues to be maintained.
	MUSART (Music Analysis and Retrieval Technology): content-based music information retrieval including "query by humming"
	Spectral Interpolation Synthesis: Automatic capture of spectral and performance models.
	CMU MIDI Toolkit: Collection of source code for writing interactive MIDI software in C
