This paper presents an Internet of Musical Things ecosystem involving musicians and audiences interacting with a smart mandolin, smartphones, and the Audio Commons online repository Freesound. The ecosystem has been devised to support performer-instrument and performer-audience interactions through the generation of musical accompaniments exploiting crowd-sourced sounds. We present two use cases investigating how audio content retrieved from Freesound can be leveraged by performers or audiences…
