Virtuosity in Computer Music The goal of this research is to study human computer interaction (HCI) in music with a mind to increasing the efficiency of computer music interfaces so that is more spontaneous and better faci litates creativity and originality.

computer-aided composition

Our work endeavour s to evaluate, adapt and extend existing perspectives in HCI (such as direct manipulation, ubiquitous computing, trans-parency) with specific provisions for creative and expert use. To this end, we introduce the notion of , the ability to mas te r an ins tr um en t o r interface to interact ‘directly’ with the music.
