AI (Artificial Intelligence) for Musicians

This is a Research Team Studying How Musicians can Benefit from AI (Artificial Intelligence)

This project is supported by the National Science Foundation Artificial Intelligence Technology for Future Music Performers.

Research Team

Activities

Create AI-based software for musicians. Evaluate whether the software actually helps musicians. Educate students for AI, software, and music performance.

Vertically Integrated Project

Artificial Intelligence in Music is an undergraduate course. Meeting time in Fall 2023: 10AM Thursdays in BHEE 013

Multidisciplinary Research

This project includes students and professors from Music, Engineering, Technology, Art, and Management.

User Studies

Evaluate how musicians use AI-based tools and how these tools can be improved.

Presentations

Gives speeches and concerts about AI and music.

Concerts

Demonstrate the technology.

Cello Lessons

Learn how to play cello, from beginners to stage performers.

Evaluator

The Evaluator aims to improve individual practice and performance. It analyzes a musician’s sound and compares it to digitized music scores to detect deviations in intonation, rhythm, and dynamics and suggest better posture based on sample performers’ recording with correct posture.

Companion

The Companion plays the part of one or several instruments to replace absent musicians with matching tempo, and style of the human musicians through audio analysis of their performance while also responding in real-time to verbal instructions.

Visualize Music

This project analyzes music elements and transforms them into textual descriptions. These descriptions are converted into visual representations (images or videos). The visual depictions are dynamically adjusted to mirror the music.
