Intelligent Music Interfaces: When Interactive Assistance and Adaptive Augmentation Meet Musical Instruments

Abstract

The interactive augmentation of musical instruments to foster self- expression and learning has a rich history. Over the past decades, incorporating interactive technologies into musical instruments has emerged as a research field requiring strong collaboration between disciplines. The workshop “Intelligent Music Interfaces” covers a wide range of musical research subjects and directions, including (a) current challenges in musical learning, (b) prototyping for improve- ments, (c) new means of musical expression, and (d) evaluation of the solutions.
