Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research

 

Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research

The Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR) is formed of scholars from different backgrounds and collaborates with various departments across the University. Computer Music is defined as the study of Music with Computer Science. We are chiefly interested in computational modelling of Music. We are developing new intelligent musical systems that will be able to evolve their own rules for musical composition and ability to interact with musicians and listeners in much more sophisticated ways than the present ones can do. We predict the emergence of new kinds of music content, most of which will be generated on the fly, requiring new modes of representation, access and interaction. New research topics such as Evolutionary Computer Music and Neuroscience of Music are emerging as natural progressions in Computer Music research. Our innovative research activity is often featured in the international press. Please refer to ICCMR's own website for more information: http://cmr.soc.plymouth.ac.uk. ICCMR is a member of the Centre for Research in the Humanities and Performing Arts (HuMPA).  Research interests include:

  • Computer-Aided Musical Composition
  • Generative Music
  • Software Sound Synthesis
  • Interaction and Control
  • Robotics & Music
  • Relation between Language, Speech and Music
  • Artificial Life and the Origins and Evolution of Music
  • Computational Biomusicology
  • Brain-Computer Music Interface (BCMI)
  • Neuroscience & Music
