15-623 Computer Music Systems and Information Processing

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This course presents concepts and techniques for representing and manipulating discrete music information, both in real time and off line. Representations of music as explicitly timed event sequences will be introduced, and students will learn how to build efficient runtime systems for event scheduling, tempo control, and interactive processing. The MIDI protocol is used to capture realtime performance information and to generate sound. The course will also cover nonrealtime processing of music data, including Markov models, style recognition, computer accompaniment, querybyhumming, and algorithmic composition. This course is independent of, and complementary to 15322, Introduction to Computer Music, which focuses on sound synthesis and signal processing.
