Welecome to CrestMuse Workshop 2009

The CrestMuse Project is the biggest national music research project in Japan. To establish novel environments that enable various people ranging from amature to professional musicians to comfortably create music, we are engaged in the development of techniques for manuplating existing musical content based on computing technologies including signal processing and machine learning. In 2006 and 2008, we successfully held domestic symposia and introduced our research results. This year, we would like to hold the first international workshop to introduce our latest research results to worldwide researchers including ISMIR participants. In addition to oral presentations by the leaders of the five sub-groups, we will prepare demonstrations of our music manipulation techniques, some of which can be experienced by participants themselves. We hope that you enjoy them and feel wide potential of our music manipulation techniques.
