Creating, Visualizing, and Analyzing Dynamic Music Objects in the Browser with the Dymo Designer

Dynamic music is gaining increasing popularity outside of its initial environment, the videogame industry, and is gradually becoming an autonomous medium. Responsible for this is doubtlessly the prevalence of integrated multisensory platforms such as smartphones as well as the omnipresence of the internet as a provider of content on demand. The music format Dynamic Music Objects builds on these assumptions and on recent advances in music information retrieval and semantic web technologies. It is capable of describing a multitude of adaptive, interactive, and immersive musical experiences. This paper introduces the Dymo Designer, a prototypical web app that allows people to create and analyze Dynamic Music Objects in a visual, interactive, and computer-assisted way.
