The use of sophisticated computer systems in the design and performance of music has taken place in the context of a society that demands novelty and expects technology to play a leading role in extending the boundaries of what is musically possible. This article describes a different approach to the use of technology in composition and an alternat...
To outsiders it can often appear, with some justification, that those of us working in the field of computers and music are less interested in making discoveries about music itself and much more interested in the programming and internal workings of that ever more conspicuous electronic box of tricks. It would therefore seem appropriate to examine...
Improvisation in North Indian tabla drumming is similar to speech insofar as it is bound to an underlying system of rules determining correct sequences. The parallel is further reinforced by the fact that tabla music may be represented with an oral notation system used for its transmission and, occasionally, performance. Yet the rules are implicit...
In experimental research into percussion languages, an interactive computer system, the Bol Processor, has been developed by the authors to analyse the performances of expert musicians and generate its own musical items that were assessed for quality and accuracy by the informants. The problem of transferring knowledge from a human expert to a mach...

... He characterized the Bol Processor grammar in terms of string repetitions and homomorphism. Bel and Kippen (1992a) proposed a model for North Indian tabla drumming improvisation and its evaluation with the capability to handle complex structure. Bel and Kippen (1992b) introduced the concept of Bol Processor grammar for representing patterns for repetitions and homomorphic transformations. ...

... Bel (1992) applied the concept of formal grammar in the improvisation of North Indian tabla Drum music and extended the model in terms of substitutions, meta-variables and remote contexts. Kippen and Bel (1994) described the usage of the computer system in the composition of Indian drum music and developed a newer version of Bol processor. Jurish (2004) described the musical structure using formal language theory. ...
... The implementation of these mathematical models can be used for checking the accuracy of the Tala's kaida. Kippen and Bel (1989) developed an interactive system (Bol Processor) for analyzing the performance of an expert musician. They proposed the concept of transferring the knowledge from expert music to a machine. ...
