Abstract

Self-choreographed musical fountain is a novel idea and aims to reduce design complexity of pre-choreographed musical fountains by automatically synchronizing water with random input music, depending on musical information retrieval characteristics of the song. In this paper, a novel algorithm developed for a self-choreographed, fully automatic, interactive musical fountain system is discussed. System design follows a modular approach. Python language is used to develop the software architecture for the system. A prototype is designed to test the system. System provides satisfactory results for various genres of music.
