Dialogue in Resonance: An Interactive Music Piece for Piano and Real-Time Automatic Transcription System
This work addresses the problem of enhancing interactive music performance for musicians and audiences by providing a novel framework that integrates real-time transcription, though it is incremental as it builds on existing improvisation-based approaches.
The paper tackles the challenge of creating interactive music pieces by developing a system that integrates real-time automatic transcription to enable a computer-controlled piano to interpret and respond to a human pianist, resulting in a balanced musical dialogue that combines composed structure with live interaction.
This paper presents <Dialogue in Resonance>, an interactive music piece for a human pianist and a computer-controlled piano that integrates real-time automatic music transcription into a score-driven framework. Unlike previous approaches that primarily focus on improvisation-based interactions, our work establishes a balanced framework that combines composed structure with dynamic interaction. Through real-time automatic transcription as its core mechanism, the computer interprets and responds to the human performer's input in real time, creating a musical dialogue that balances compositional intent with live interaction while incorporating elements of unpredictability. In this paper, we present the development process from composition to premiere performance, including technical implementation, rehearsal process, and performance considerations.
