Integrated Interactive Music Performance Environment (IIMPE):
The Integrated Interactive Music Performance Environment (IIMPE) is a research project funded by
the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) between 2004 and 2008.
IIMPE is a software application based on the NoteAbilityPro music editor designed and developed by the Keith Hamel.
An enhanced version of NoteAbilityPro supports interactive computer music performances by embedding control messages
that can be sent through a network during score playback to control Max/MSP/Jitter or Pd programs running on other computers.
The Max/MSP/Jitter or Pd programs control live audio processing and video rendering. As well, messages from these software
applications can be sent to NoteAbilityPro to modify its playback. Using IIMPE, a live performer (on any acoustic instrument)
can interact directly with NoteAbilityPro using the Antescofo score-following software developed by
Arshia Cont at the Institute de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique (IRCAM) in Paris.
The example below shows a basic configuration used in the performance of Traces II for clarinet
and Interactive Electronics written by Keith Hamel. The screen shows one NoteAbilityPro file and two MaxMSP patches.
The top-left MaxMSP patch is running Antescofo, tracking the live clarinet performance and sending score location details
to NoteAbilityPro (bottom-left) which synchronizes the score to the live performance and sends control messages
(embedded in the score below the instrumental part) to another Max/MSP file which is performing audio processing
and triggering samples. Normally, 2 or 3 networked computers would be used for a performance of this work, but in this
example it is being run on one computer
