New Directions In Music Tech At Siggraph

Posted by timothy on Monday July 28, 2003 @10:19AM from the good-sounds-sound-good dept.

Cyrrin writes "The 2003 Siggraph conference is under way in San Diego, and the Emerging Technologies booth is showcasing several noteworthy projects in the field of human-computer interaction in music production. First, The Continuator system, from Sony Computer Science Laboratory, Paris which learns in real-time the style of a performing pianist, taking into account chord structures, rhythm, and melody, and then renders a musical performance in a similar style. Next is The Augmented Composer Project which uses real-time image processing to read the arrangement and orientation of symbolic cards on a table to allow a composer to assemble components of a musical phrase. Finally, those wizards at the MIT Media Lab bring you Hyperscore, a visual composition program which is intended for childen to be able to easily create complex and fantastic music sequences. (And it's fun for adults too!) Hyperscore is part of the Toy Symphony project and is available for download by going to the Musictoys->Hyperscore-> Showcase page (Windows-only though)."

Don't miss Softimage at Siggraph, where they are introducing XSI 3.5.
Softimage rocks. XSI was used to make the animation and effects in movies like Toy Story (and its being used for making the model in upcoming Half Life 2).
And by the way, they used to be owned by Microsoft until they were sold off to competitor Avid. May that was one of Microsoft's Mistakes?

Bob Hope Dead at 100 by Anonymous Coward · 2003-07-28 10:24 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Sad news, I just heard virtually every fucking place in the universe that actor/entertainer/old guy Bob Hope was found dead in his Toluca Lake, California home this morning.
He was 100 motherfucking years old. Details are sketchy, but apparently the cause of death was a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Well, even if you thought his sense of humor was fifty years out of date and his acting ability sucked balls, there's still no denying he was truly an American/English icon. I guess.
