Semi Natural Algorithmic composition (SNCA) is the technique of using algorithms to create music note sequences in computer with the understanding that how to render them would be decided by the composer. In our approach we are proposing an…
In North-Indian-Music-System(NIMS),tabla is mostly used as percussive accompaniment for vocal-music in polyphonic-compositions. The human auditory system uses perceptual grouping of musical-elements and easily filters the tabla component,…
In Hindustani classical music, the tabla plays an important role as a rhythmic backbone and accompaniment. In applications like computer-based music analysis, learning singing, and learning musical instruments, tabla stroke transcription,…
The term jitter and shimmer has long been used in the domain of speech and acoustic signal analysis as a parameter for speaker identification and other prosodic features. In this study, we look forward to use the same parameters in neural…
In the previous articles of this series, we have discussed the development of musical scales particularly that of the heptatonic scale which forms the basis of Western classical music today. In this last article, we take a look at the basic…
Cadences are complex structures that have been driving music from the beginning of contrapuntal polyphony until today. Detecting such structures is vital for numerous MIR tasks such as musicological analysis, key detection, or music…
South Indian classical music (Carnatic music) is best consumed through live concerts. A carnatic recital requires meticulous planning accounting for several parameters like the performers' repertoire, composition variety, musical…
Raga is a central musical concept in South Asia, especially India, and we investigate connections between Western classical music and Melakarta raga that is a raga in Karnatak (south Indian) classical music, through musical icosahedron. In…
We present a melody based classification of musical styles by exploiting the pitch and energy based characteristics derived from the audio signal. Three prominent musical styles were chosen which have improvisation as integral part with…
What happens inside the performers brain when he is performing and composing a particular raga. Are there some specific regions in brain which are activated when an artist is creating or imaging a raga in his brain. Do the regions remain…
Frequency tagging is a powerful approach to investigate the neural processing of sensory features, and is recently adapted to study the neural correlates of superordinate structures, i.e., chunks, in complex sequences such as speech and…
In classical music and in any genre of contemporary music, the tonal elements or notes used for playing are the same. The numerous possibilities of chords for a given instance in a piece make the playing, in general, very intricate, and…
Repetition is a basic indicator of musical structure. This study introduces new algorithms for identifying musical phrases based on repetition. Phrases combine to form sections yielding a two-level hierarchical structure. Automatically…
Indian classical music relies on a sophisticated microtonal system of 22 shrutis (pitch intervals), which provides expressive nuance beyond the 12-tone equal temperament system. Existing symbolic music processing tools fail to account for…
Tabla Stroke Transcription (TST) is central to the analysis of rhythmic structure in Hindustani classical music, yet remains challenging due to complex rhythmic organization and the scarcity of strongly annotated data. Existing approaches…
Hindustani classical music is entirely based on the "Raga" structures. In Hindustani music, a "Gharana" or school refers to the adherence of a group of musicians to a particular musical style. Gharanas have their basis in the traditional…
Understanding the structural characteristics of harmony is essential for an effective use of music as a communication medium. Of the three expressive axes of music (melody, rhythm, harmony), harmony is the foundation on which the emotional…
Speech coding forms a crucial element in speech communications. An important area concerning it lies in feature extraction which can be used for analyzing Hindustani Classical Music. An important feature in this respect is the fundamental…
Signal analysis is one of the finest scientific techniques in communication theory. Some quantitative and qualitative measures describe the pattern of a music signal, vary from one to another. Same musical recital, when played by different…
