Computer Music
 
The Computer Music Project at CMU develops computer music and interactive performance technology to enhance human musical experience and creativity. This interdisciplinary effort draws on Music Theory, Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Human Computer Interaction, Real-Time Systems, Computer Graphics and Animation, Multimedia, Programming Languages, and Signal Processing.

Projects
 
Artificial Intelligence and Music: Music Generation, Algorithmic Composition, Machine Learning, Music Structure Analysis and More.
O2: Real-time communication middleware for music systems.
Arco: Embedded, extensible sound synthesis server based on O2 and FAUST.
Humam-Computer Music Performance and Computer Accompaniment: Systems for Live Performance with Computers.
Soundcool: Creative software for music education and collaborative computer music performance.
Serpent: A real-time scripting language based on Python. Serpent is in active use for multiple real-time music projects including Arco.

  Past Projects
 
Aura: Real time distributed middleware for interactive multimedia performance
Structure Analysis: Automatic analysis of music structure from audio
McBlare: A Robotic Bagpipe Player McBlare is alive and well, and continues to be maintained.
MUSART (Music Analysis and Retrieval Technology): content-based music information retrieval including "query by humming"
Spectral Interpolation Synthesis: Automatic capture of spectral and performance models.
CMU MIDI Toolkit: Collection of source code for writing interactive MIDI software in C
Chronic: A programming language with time as a primitive type

  Software
 
Audacity: A fast, cross-platform audio editor
O2: Real-time communication middleware for music systems.
Nyquist: A sound synthesis and composition language based on Lisp
PortMidi: Standard cross-platform APIs for music software
PortSMF: Cross-platform Standard MIDI File reader/writer/score representation. Currently used in Audacity for “note tracks” and a native Serpent implementation is used in many local projects.
ScoreAlign: Fast audio-to-audio and audio-to-MIDI score alignment using dynamic programming on chromagram representations with added heuristics for better alignment. href="structure/index.html">
