The NEUMA Project: towards Cooperative On-line Music Score Libraries
Get PDFΠεριέχει το πλήρες κείμενοThe NEUMA project (http://neuma.irpmf-cnrs.fr)
aims at designing and evaluating an open cooperative system
for musician communities, enabling new search and analysis
tools for symbolic musical content sharing and dissemination.
The project is organized around the French CNRS laboratory
of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France which provides sample
collections, user requirements and expert validation. The paper
presents the project goals, its achitecture and current state
of development. We illustrate our approach with an on-line
publication of monodic collections centered on XVIIe century
French liturgic chants
Live Coding, Live Notation, Live Performance
Get PDFThis paper/demonstration explores relationships between code, notation including representation, visualisation and performance. Performative aspects of live coding activities are increasingly being investigated as the live coding movement continues to grow and develop. Although live instrumental performance is sometimes included as an accompaniment to live coding, it is often not a fully integrated part of the performance, relying on improvisation and/or basic indicative forms of notation with varying levels of sophistication and universality. Technologies are developing which enable the use of fully explicit music notations as well as more graphic ones, allowing more fully integrated systems of code in and as performance which can also include notations of arbitrary complexity. This itself allows the full skills of instrumental musicians to be utilised and synchronised in the process.
This presentation/demonstration presents work and performances already undertaken with these technologies, including technologies for body sensing and data acquisition in the translation of the movements of dancers and musicians into synchronously performable notation, integrated by live and prepared coding. The author together with clarinetist Ian Mitchell present a short live performance utilising these techniques, discuss methods for the dissemination and interpretation of live generated notations and investigate how they take advantage of instrumental musicians’ training-related neuroplasticity skills
