Book Computational Rhythm Description

Download or read book Computational Rhythm Description written by Fabien Gouyon and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about musical rhythm. More precisely, it is concerned with computer programs that automatically extract rhythmic descriptions from musical audio signals. New algorithms are presented for tempo induction, tatum estimation, time signature determination, swing estimation, swing transformations and classification of ballroom dance music styles. These algorithms directly process digitized recordings of acoustic musical signals. The backbones of these algorithms are rhythm periodicity functions: functions measuring the salience of a rhythmic pulse as a function of the period (or frequency) of the pulse, calculated from selected instantaneous physical attributes (henceforth features) emphasizing rhythmic aspects of sound. This book substantially contributes to the field of computational rhythm description by proposing an unifying functional framework; by reviewing the architecture of many existing systems with respect to individual blocks of this framework; by reporting on the first public evaluation of tempo induction algorithms; and by identifying promising research directions.

Book Advances in Music Information Retrieval

Download or read book Advances in Music Information Retrieval written by Zbigniew W Ras and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-02-28 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sound waves propagate through various media, and allow communication or entertainment for us, humans. Music we hear or create can be perceived in such aspects as rhythm, melody, harmony, timbre, or mood. All these elements of music can be of interest for users of music information retrieval systems. Since vast music repositories are available for everyone in everyday use (both in private collections, and in the Internet), it is desirable and becomes necessary to browse music collections by contents. Therefore, music information retrieval can be potentially of interest for every user of computers and the Internet. There is a lot of research performed in music information retrieval domain, and the outcomes, as well as trends in this research, are certainly worth popularizing. This idea motivated us to prepare the book on Advances in Music Information Retrieval. It is divided into four sections: MIR Methods and Platforms, Harmony, Music Similarity, and Content Based Identification and Retrieval. Glossary of basic terms is given at the end of the book, to familiarize readers with vocabulary referring to music information retrieval.
