Interfacing Jazz (PhD dissertation)

Within this project, several generative music algorithms and interfaces for musical creation and performance were developed. My main contribution was on GimmeDaBlues, an iOS app focusing on Jazz and Blues, that allows the user to  play a jazz quartet, with or without any musical experience.

My dissertation can be found here.

• Interfacing Jazz: core concepts and algorithms of my PhD dissertation;
• GimmeDaBlues: iOS app;
• MyJazzBand: an interactive installation for multi-touch screen;
• algorithmic jazz: some resources regarding the algorithmic computation of jazz music.
• b.blocks library – prototyping of interactive multimedia systems for Max/MSP;
