Interactive Musical Performance with Bill Manaris
Interactive Musical Performance with Bill Manaris
"Computers, Music, and Art – the Algorithm is the Medium"
Come hear how Bill Manaris, Director of Computing in the Arts at the College of Charleston, and his students create interactive music and art through new technologies. This talk will present research in the intersection of computer science (including artificial intelligence, big data and human computer interaction) with computer music and art. Manaris and his students explore interaction design, modeling of aesthetics and creativity, sound spatialization and telematics. They design systems for computer-aided analysis, composition and performance in music and art. They will discuss existing projects and pieces created using new technologies (including one being prepared for the Music Library of Greece), as well as an explanation of work with the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts to promote the Algorithmic Arts, in general, and Computers in the Arts (CITA) educational programs, in particular.
