Welcome ​

This webpage accompanies the coding session of the tutorial Computer-Assisted Music-Making Systems: Taxonomy, Review, and Live Coding, by Christodoulos Benetatos, Philippe Pasquier and Zhiyao Duan.
This tutorial is presented at the afternoon tutorial session of the 24th ISMIR conference, Nov 5-9 in Milan, Italy.

Introduction ​

Computer-Assisted Music-Making (CAMM) systems are software-based tools designed to assist and augment the musical creativity of composers, performers, and music enthusiasts. CAMM systems encompass a wide range of systems that can be broadly categorized into two main types according to their design purposes: to assist music performance and to assist music composition.

In this tutorial we will review the design principles, practical applications, taxonomy, and the state-of-the-art research of CAMM systems, with an emphasis on systems assisting music performance, which are also called “interactive music systems” or “musical agents” in the literature.

Additionally, there will be a coding session in which we will guide participants through the process of building a real-time musical agent using Euterpe, a prototyping framework for creating music interactions on the web.

Coding Session ​

There will also be a coding session where we'll use the web prototyping framework Euterpe introduced in the slides, to build a real-time musical agent on the web. You can actively join the coding using the material of this webguide.
