Clustering of Musical Pieces through Complex Networks: an Assessment over Guitar Solos

Information Retrieval 2017-09-18 v1 Sound Social and Information Networks

Abstract

Musical pieces can be modeled as complex networks. This fosters innovative ways to categorize music, paving the way towards novel applications in multimedia domains, such as music didactics, multimedia entertainment and digital music generation. Clustering these networks through their main metrics allows grouping similar musical tracks. To show the viability of the approach, we provide results on a dataset of guitar solos.
