Generative Improv . & Interactive Music Project (GIIMP)

Ian Whalley

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract:

GIIMP addresses the criticism that in many interactive music systems the machine simply reacts. Interaction is addressed by extending Winkler's [18] model toward adapting Paine's [10] conversational model of interaction. Realized using commercial tools, GIIMP implements a machine/human generative improvisation system using human gesture input, machine gesture capture, and a gesture mutation module in conjunction with a flocking patch, mapped through microtonal/spectral techniques to sound. The intention is to meld some established and current practices, and combine aspects of symbolic and sub-symbolic approaches, toward musical outcomes.
