pDM: An Expressive Sequencer with Real-Time Control of the KTH Music- Performance Rules

摘要

Experimental research in music performance is now an established field with a number of interesting advances relating to the understanding of the musical communication between performer and listener (Palmer 1997; Gabrielsson 1999). Research in this field includes the communication of structure (Friberg and Battel 2002), emotional expression (Juslin 2001), and musicians' body gestures (Davidson and Correia 2002; Wanderley et al. 2005; Dahl and Friberg forthcoming). From this research, it is evident that the performer has an important and essential role "giving life" to a composition by introducing gestural qualities, enhancing the musical structure, and providing a personal interpretation reflecting an expressive intention. For example, studies of emotional expression have shown that the same piece can communicate completely different emotions by changing the performance.
