Advancement of a software application suite for music analysis and generation informed by music cognition research

这个项目代表了音乐软件开发公司WaveDNA和瑞尔森大学SMART(音乐、听觉研究和技术)实验室之间合作的自然演变。WaveDNA的独特之处在于，在经验研究的基础上，用人类的智慧来装备它的软件，从而提供了一种产生有意义的音乐变化的方法。该项目旨在通过新的行为和电生理实验，改进WaveDNA现有的音乐分析和生成引擎。这些实验的结果将指导与WaveDNA合作的新算法的开发。尽管现有的音乐应用程序，如数字音频工作站，具有很大程度的功能，但它们不能通过智能交互来解决用户的认知/情感评估。我们相信，这个项目将填补这一空白，并满足包括音乐家和研究人员在内的广泛客户基础。

This project represents a natural evolution in the collaboration between waveDNA, a music software development company, and the SMART (Science of Music, Auditory Research and Technology) lab at Ryerson University. WaveDNA's unique focus lies in equipping its software with human intelligence based on empirical research, thereby providing a means of generating meaningful musical variations. This project aims to improve waveDNA's existing musical analysis and generation engines through new behavioural and electrophysiological experiments. Results of these experiments will guide the development of new algorithms in collaboration with waveDNA. Although existing music applications such as digital audio workstations have a great degree of functionality, they do not address the user's cognitive/emotional appraisals through intelligent interaction. We believe that this project will address this void and satisfy a broad base of customers including musicians and researchers.
