Can a virtual conductor create its own interpretation of a music orchestra?
Abstract
Having a computer do the work for you has become more and more common over time. But in the entertainment area, where a human is a creator, we want to avoid having too much influence on technology. On the other hand, inspiration is still important; we developed a virtual conductor that can generate an emotionally associated interpretation of known music work. This was done by surveying a set number of people to determine, which emotions were associated with a specific interpretation and instruments. As a result of machine learning this conductor was then able to achieve his goal. Unlike earlier studies of virtual conductors, which would replace the role of a human conductor, this new one is supposed to be an assisting tool for conductors. As a result, starting on a new interpretation will be easier because it streamlines research time and provides a technical perspective that can inspire new ideas. By using this technology as a supplement to human creativity, we can create richer, more nuanced interpretations of musical works.
