Repertoire Remix enables remote audience members to dynamically suggest their musical preferences for live web-streaming musical improvisation sessions. The semantic web interface encourages remote participants to collaboratively use “stirring” mouse gestures to influence the size of graphical bubbles that contain composers’ names. The accumulated weight is then interpreted by musicians to improvise. This paper documents the first pilot run of the Repertoire Remix system, explores challenges in designing a real-time shared music-style arranging system for networked live improvisation, and interprets the resulting performance by assessing the participants’ mouse gestures collected during the pilot run.
