Abstract

Intelligent Music Tools often aim to replicate human creativity, but the experience of interacting with them is limited by the interfaces of today. Such tools can be considered as collaborators in the creative process, and extending this metaphor to other modalities beyond audio, we propose the idea of personifying these tools as humanoid avatars in Augmented Reality to enhance the process of composing and performing music. In this paper, we present two types of personified interfaces based on generative music and live looping. Through this workshop, we seek to gain feedback on our ideas and prototypes, and potentially spark a discussion about future multi-sensory interfaces for collaborating with intelligent music tools.
