This paper introduces Chord Colourizer, a near real-time system that detects the musical key of an audio signal and visually represents it through a novel graphical user interface (GUI). The system assigns colours to musical notes based on…
Every art form ultimately aims to invoke an emotional response over the audience, and music is no different. While the precise perception of music is a highly subjective topic, there is an agreement in the "feeling" of a piece of music in…
Wind-driven sound generation is a source of anger and pleasure, depending on the situation: airframe and car noise, or combustion noise are some of the most disturbing environmental pollutions, whereas musical instruments are sources of…
We consider a specific scenario of text aggregation, in the realm of musical harmonization. Musical harmonization shares similarities with text aggregation, however the language of harmony is more structured than general text. Concretely,…
We consider the chordal product determinant, a measure of the distance between two subspaces of the same dimension. In information theory, collections of elements in the complex Grassmannian are searched with the property that their…
Three classes of harmonic disorder systems (Lennard-Jones like glasses, percolators above threshold, and spring disordered lattices) have been numerically investigated in order to clarify the effect of different types of disorder on the…
The statistical precision of a chord method for estimating fractal dimension from a correlation integral is derived. The optimal chord length is determined, and a comparison is made to other estimators. These calculations use the…
Compositionality in language refers to how much the meaning of some phrase can be decomposed into the meaning of its constituents and the way these constituents are combined. Based on the premise that substitution by synonyms is…
The original purpose of component-based development was to provide techniques to master complex software, through composition, reuse and parametrisation. However, such systems are rapidly moving towards a level in which software becomes…
Systems such as Microsoft Songsmith automatically assign chords and harmony to a melody by minimizing the dissonance across all chord changes. Although this produces harmonious music, it is not what practicing musicians do. In this paper, I…
Do people from different cultural backgrounds perceive the mood in music the same way? How closely do human ratings across different cultures approximate automatic mood detection algorithms that are often trained on corpora of predominantly…
Long-living coupled transverse and longitudinal phonon modes are explored in dense and regular arrangements of flat microfluidic droplets. The collective oscillations are driven by hydrodynamic interactions between the confined droplets and…
Metric perturbations in General Relativity are usually separated into three distinct classes: scalar, vector, and tensor. In many cases these modes are separable, i.e. they satisfy independent equations of motion for each mode. However, in…
We analyze the fractal dimension of melodic contours and pitch time series of classical music and folk music tunes. The fractal dimensions obtained from box counting and detrended fluctuation analysis show significant differences. They are…
Let $n$ be a positive integer. A collection $\cal S$ of subsets of $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$ is called {\it symmetric} if $X\in {\cal S}$ implies $X^\ast\in {\cal S}$, where $X^\ast:=\{i\in [n]\colon n-i+1\notin X\}$. We show that in each of the…
Our study has investigated the effect of music on the experience of viewing art, investigating the factors which create a sense of connectivity between the two forms. We worked with 138 participants, and included multiple choice and…
In a linear chord diagram a short chord is one which joins adjacent vertices. We define a bubble to be a region in a linear chord diagram devoid of short chords. We derive a formal generating function counting bubbles by their size and find…
Correlations in music that exist within its waveform are studied. Monophonic wave files of random music are generated and the probability distribution function of time interval between large signal values is analyzed. A power law behavior…
Music genre classification has been widely studied in past few years for its various applications in music information retrieval. Previous works tend to perform unsatisfactorily, since those methods only use audio content or jointly use…
This paper aims to test whether a multi-modal approach for music emotion recognition (MER) performs better than a uni-modal one on high-level song features and lyrics. We use 11 song features retrieved from the Spotify API, combined lyrics…
