ANTESCOFO: ANTICIPATORY SYNCHRONIZATION AND CONTROL OF INTERACTIVE PARAMETERS IN COMPUTER MUSIC

Abstract

Antescofo is a modular anticipatory score following system that holds both instrumental and electronic scores together and is capable of executing electronic scores in synchronization with a live performance and using various controls over time. In its very basic use, it is a classical score following system, but in advanced use it enables concurrent representation and recognition of different audio descriptors (rather than pitch), control over various time scales used in music writing, and enables temporal interaction between the performance and the electronic score. Antescofo comes with a simple score language for flexible writing of time and interaction in computer music. 1.
