MUSICA (MUSical Interactive Collaborative Agent) is an interactive online system for creating and playing jazz. Users can create short melodies, arrange them into a larger piece, and then improvise with the aid of a computer-generated band. Unlike most existing music software, MUSICA features a natural language interface to create scores and its generative jazz band can actively listen to the users solos and respond to them in real time.

Go to our online demo: demo.musicaresearch.org

NEW: f you want to export the score you created with MUSICA to MIDI format, you can download our MIDI converter script for Mac or Windows.

We also have a few online videos available for those who want a demonstration of the system and it’s capabilities.
