Finale of an improvisation by Hervé Sellin on "The Man I Love" using the music improvisation system ImproteK (see full version). The "scenario" provided to the system is the chord chart of the song, and its musical "memory" is:

  • Billie Holiday singing "The Man I Love",
  • Edith Piaf singing "Mon dieu" and "Milord",
  • Elisabeth Schwarzkopf singing "Mi tradì quell'alma ingrata" (Mozart, Don Giovanni), and "Tu che del gel sei cinta" (Puccini, Turandot).

Structured improvisation using the music improvisation software ImproteK, work session with Rémi Fox (Ircam, July 2015). from Jérôme Nika on Vimeo.

The software starts with an empty musical memory and improvises several voices by reinjecting the live audio material which is processed and transformed online to match the designed scenario (depending on the voice: accompaniment/solo, harmonic progression/metric structure) while being reactive to external controls.

Scat improvisations in work sessions with Bernard and Louis Lubat using the ImproteK software. For all these improvisation sessions the software starts with an empty musical memory and improvises by reinjecting the live audio material which is processed and transformed online to match a given scenario (harmonic progression, beat,…) while being reactive to external controls.

The content-based scenario is the profile of spectral centroid and roughness extracted from the soundtrack of a musicless movie scene. It is applied to a memory constituted by the piece Atmosphères (Ligeti) analyzed with the same couple of audio descriptors. The generated sequence replaces the original soundtrack.

Improvisation on "D'ici d'en bas" by Bernard Lubat with the ImproteK system. The musical memory used by the system is constituted by the captured live material and a heterogeneous offline corpus (recordings of more than 10 jazz standards or ballads by different interprets).

Structured improvisation using ImproteK with a scenario defined over a content-based alphabet

Structured improvisation using ImproteK with a scenario defined over a content-based alphabet from Jérôme Nika on Vimeo.

First technical experiments with the composer-improviser Michelle Agnès. Alphabet for the scenario: (loudness, brightness, playing mode). The system starts with an empty memory and reinjects the live audio material matching the descriptor profiles imposed by the scenario which is composed in such a way that the machine improvisation alternates between counterpoint and extension of the musical gesture.
