X-NOIA ΔΙΕΡΕΥΝΗΣΗ ΧΡΗΣΗΣ ΑΝΘΡΩΠΙΝΩΝ ΕΓΚΕΦΑΛΙΚΩΝ ΚΥΜΑΤΩΝ ΩΣ ΔΗΜΙΟΥΡΓΙΚΟ ΜΕΣΟ - Αυτόματη Μουσική Σύνθεση σε Πραγματικό Χρόνο

X-NOIA REASEARCH OF HUMAN BRAINWAVES AS CREATIVE MEAN
Summary:
During the last ten years, important developments have arisen in the research field of the Music Technology and have raised new challenges for the musical synthesis and informatics. This project involves automated musical synthesis utilizing human brainwaves. The industry in our days has made this technology affordable for the wider public, when it wasn’t available ten years ago. Audio programmers, composers and artists are using programming for creative purposes. With musical creativity in mind I will analyze composition ways in music using human brainwaves as a source of data. I will manipulate programming code to automate the whole process in the self-made project x-noia. The ultimate goal of the project is to be able to control the musical product thus to be manageable by the artist himself and more precisely by his/her brainwaves. Brainwave research is an emerging science that has found involvement in a lot of sections of science like computing, robotics, biology, medicine and music. This project examines the technique that the operator must use to produce the wanted musical outcome that will be underlined by accompanying visual graphics with the data values. Moving on, the whole project code will be uploaded to github.com and will be free to access. Important sectors of the research are: the background, the technical and the aesthetics. The background refer to the production of the projects so far. The technical section includes the hardware and software that will be used and the aesthetic part will support the musical outcome from the expression and creativity perspective. Part of this research is the study of brainwaves and the way of use from the artist himself. In this paper all the uses of the brainwaves and their utility is being discussed on the perspective of how the user-artist can control the device to get the desired results.
