Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

Rencon is an annual international event that started in 2002. It has roles of (1) pursuing evaluation methods for systems whose output includes subjective issues, and (2) providing a forum for researches of several fields related to musical expression. In the past. Rencon was held as a workshop associated with a musical contest that provided a forum for presenting and discussing the latest research in automatic performance rendering. This year we introduce new evaluation methods of performance expression to Rencon: a Turing Test and a Gnirut Test, which is a reverse Turing Test, for performance expression. We have opened a section of the contests to any instruments and genre of music, including synthesized human voices.
