In his position, you will be interacting with researchers and musician at Ircam and affiliated to the new MUSYNC team-project, a joint project between Ircam, CNRS and Inria. The project is centered on extensions of Antescofo, an award-winning software for realtime computer music composition and performance, featuring a dedicated synchronous programming language coupled to an artificial listening machine. This development mission consist in enriching the language interpreter in the first step by including common formats such as MusicXML, and in a second place to render its current architecture autonomous with a dedicated graphical interface. This project will allow the extension of Antescofo's applications to new artistic domains and assure its ongoing relationship with the ever growing user community.

ABOUT MuSync Project
MuSync is a recent joint team-project between Ircam, INRIA and CNRS. The work of MuSync team-project is at the intersection of two important problems in computer music: Realtime recognition of music data from audio signals, and reactive synchronous programming in computer music. MuSync is housed at Ircam, the world leader in Sound and Music Computing, a unique place for the convergence of artistic and technological innovations. MuSync's research results are disseminated largely within the electronic music community.
MuSync is home to Antescofo. An award-winning real-time polyphonic score following program coupled with a synchronous language for realtime computer music composition and performance. Antescofo is among the leading score following programs used for creation of novel mixed electroacoustic pieces with world-class performances and creations throughout the year.
