| Abstract | Here we describe an approach to the expressive synthesis of jazz
saxophone melodies that reuses audio recordings and carefully
concatenates note samples. The aim is to generate an expressive audio
sequence from the analysis of an arbitrary input score using a
previously induced performance model and an annotated saxophone note
database extracted from real performances. We push the idea of using
the same corpus for both inducing an expressive performance model and
synthesizing sound by concatenating samples in the corpus. Therefore, a
connection between the performers’ instrument sound and performance
characteristics is kept during the synthesis process.
