Empowering musicians, illuminating musical activities, and modelling music perception and cognition
All STEM research projects > Displaying [1–12 of 16]
Artificial Intelligence, Melody, and Education
Developing MOTIVE, a constraint-based tool for melody analysis and generation that supports beginners in exploring composition through a computational model of melodic perception.
Aspect-Oriented Music Representation
Applying aspect-oriented programming and multi-dimensional separation of concerns to music representation, composition and analysis, with associated publications, code and tutorials.
Computational Modelling of Tonality Perception
Developing and testing computational models of tonal harmony to explain listeners’ expectations and perceptions of musical resolution through psychoacoustic and cognitive principles.
Direct Combination
Investigating Direct Combination as an interaction technique for connecting devices and resources, creating services and supporting flexible personalisation in mobile and pervasive computing.
Harmony Space
Harmony Space is an interactive digital music system that connects tonal harmony with spatial concepts, helping beginners and experts perform, compose and analyse music.
Knowledge Mentoring for Supporting Musical Composition Learning
Developing the Knowledge Mentoring framework and MetaMuse teaching-agent prototype to support creative, metacognitive and critical thinking in musical composition learning.
Music Interaction Design
Using Embodied Cognition to Improve Music Interaction Design
Musicality in the Classroom
Developing a framework for creative learning and the SoundScape collaborative music composition program, evaluated with 96 schoolchildren aged 11.
Neurophony
An exploratory brain–computer music interface using EEG signals and Harmony Space to generate harmonic sequences reflecting a user’s mood.
New User Interfaces for Timbre
Investigating user interfaces for musical timbre design, including evolutionary interaction that allows musicians to explore sound possibilities without mastering synthesizer engineering terminology.
PlanC Constraint-Based Musical Planner
A Prolog-based musical planning prototype using Harmony Space to analyse, teach and compose tonal harmony by manipulating spatial representations of harmonic structures.
Rhythm Perception
Testing a physiologically plausible model of rhythm perception against empirical findings on human polyrhythm perception, with the aim of informing future behavioural experiments.
