Towards the One-Man Indian Computer Music Performance System

Abstract

This paper presents progress towards a system for human to robot musical performance. Specifically, it focuses on a paradigm based on North Indian classical music, drawing theory from ancient tradition to guide aesthetic and design decisions. Custom built human computer interfaces combined with musical robotic systems using software which take advantage of the state of the art computer music algorithms and theory are presented. The end result of the project is spawning a one-man Indian computer music performance system.
