No one knows exactly what went through the mind of pre-historic man when he first struck two rough stones together in order to produce sounds and rhythms. To what extent did the resulting reverberations captivate him? To what extent was... more
The creation of synthetic sounds plays an increasing role in multimedia signal processing. A variety of methods already used in digital musical instruments are now applied for sound rendering of virtual scenes. Most of these methods rely... more
A pitch spelling algorithm predicts the pitch names (e.g., C]4, B[5 etc.) of the notes in a passage of tonal music, when given the onset-time, MIDI note number and possibly the duration and voice of each note. A new algorithm, called... more

Audio music is increasingly becoming available in digital form, and the digital music collections of individuals continue to grow. Addressing the need for effective means of retrieving music from such collections, this paper proposes new... more
Digital Musical Instruments (DMIs) have difficulties establishing themselves after their creation. A huge number of DMIs is presented every year and few of them actually remain in use. Several causes could explain this reality, among them... more
The group activity is focused on the development and design of computer-controlled instruments-digital music instruments [5]. We will describe three digital music instruments, havedeveloped at the Computer Studio. These instruments are... more
TR/EN -TR:Dijitalleşme sonucunda yaşanan teknolojik dönüşüm ile müzik sektöründe gelirlerin kaynağı dijital müzik platformları haline gelmiştir. Dijital müzik platformlarından elde edilen gelirler, müzik yapımları üzerinde hak sahipleri... more
Mapping gestures to digital musical instrument parameters is not trivial when the dimensionality of the sensor-captured data is high and the model relating the gesture to sensor data is unknown. In these cases, a front-end processing... more
Bridges is a software system designed to support composition and performance for networked musical ensembles. Bridges facilitates dynamic connections between a variety of devices, applications, and individual musical objects within... more
The Epipe is a novel electronic woodwind controller with continuous tonehole coverage sensing, an initial design for which was introduced at NIME '03. Since then, we have successfully completed two fully operational prototypes. This short... more

Recent advances in new technologies offer a large range of innovative instruments for designing and processing sounds. This paper reports on the results of a project that took place during the eNTERFACE06 summer workshop in Dubrovnik,... more
The algorithmic composition models used in the domain of systems generating music compositions are presented in the paper. Moreover, the model based on the transition matrix of music events (music patterns described by notes, measures and... more
Digital music performance requires a high degree of interaction with input controllers that can provide fast feedback on the user's action. One of the primary considerations of professional artists is a powerful and creative tool that... more
Playing musical instruments such as chordophones, percussions and keyboard types accompany with harmonic interaction of player's hand with the instruments. In this work, we present a novel approach that enables the user to imitate the... more
