“…First, when musicians play together, each musician plays one note and expects to listen to the other musicians’ note to play the next one. Second, measuring MM2ME delay accurately is much easier than measuring M2E delay, as it can be done at one endpoint, by simply reflecting the transmitted sound at the other endpoint; in contrast, M2E needs to be measured at both endpoints, thus requiring perfectly synchronized clocks [ 22 ]. Third, MM2ME takes into account any asymmetry between the two directions of a connection.…”

For network music performance (NMP), end-to-end delay is the most critical factor affecting the quality of experience (QoE) of the musicians, as longer delays prevent the musicians from synchronizing. To analyze the sensitivity of QoE to delay, we performed a controlled NMP experiment, where 11 pairs of musicians performed under a wide range of delays. The analysis of the QoE questionnaires answered by the participants produced results with wide variances, making the extraction of solid conclusions quite difficult. In this paper, we complement the subjective study with an analysis of the performance tempo of the NMP sessions. Specifically, we used signal processing techniques to analyze the audio recordings of the experiments, to recover the performance tempo of the musicians, assess its evolution during each session, and correlate it with the underlying delay. The results of the analysis indicate that musicians in real NMP settings are more tolerant to delay than previously thought, managing to reach and maintain a steady tempo even with one-way delays of 40 ms. We also study how the performance tempo is related to delay, finding that the exact relationship between the two depends on the musicians.

“…Moreover, the attention of researchers has focused on the development of several frameworks to connect Musical Things [46,83,132,34,126], as well as networked music performance system aiming at interconnecting geographically displaced musicians [39,62,23,19,127,25]. In particular, recent years have witnessed an increasing use of 5G technologies in musical settings [turchet2023latency, 24,40,28].…”

The use of internet-based and networking technology in computer music systems has greatly increased in the past few years. Such efforts fall in the remits of the emerging filed of the Internet of Musical Things (IoMusT), the extension of the Internet of Things paradigm to the musical domain. Given the increasing importance of connected devices in the musical domain, it is essential to reflect on the relationship between such systems and sustainability at the environmental and social levels. In this paper, we address this aspect from two perspectives: 1) how to design IoMusT systems in a sustainable way, and 2) how IoMusT systems can support sustainability. To this end, we relied on three lenses, combining literature from green IoT (lens 1), Sustainable HCI (lens 2), and the Sustainable Development Goals from the United Nations (lens 3). By combining these three lenses, we developed five strategies for a sustainable IoMusT, which are extensively presented and discussed providing critical reflections.

“…NMP systems which provide video display and interface (or telepresence systems) acknowledge the importance of visual timing cues in musical performance. The transport of video data will typically involve high delays [18]. High video delay can result in noticeable asynchrony between video and audio display [6], which may result in synchrony issues [6], and can lead to networked musicians ignoring video display during performance [19].…”

This paper details a case study evaluation of a recording experience in a networked XR simulation of the renowned BBC Maida Vale Recording Studios. The system allows multiple remote musicians to connect over a network, providing a shared virtual acoustic space, with interactive immersive audio, XR display, and low-latency throughput. A four-piece rock band used this system in a live recording session, performing under different latency and audio conditions. Technical setup and case study protocol is detailed. Evaluation is provided in the form of Quality of Experience rating, tempo analysis, and a semi-structured exit interview.

Results of the Fast-Music Project—Five Contributions to the Domain of Distributed Music

Abstract: This work is the result of the fast-music project, which existed from July 2016 until June 2019. It is part of the fast-project cluster (fast actuators sensors and transceivers), which is funded by the BMBF (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung / Germany).
