This paper approaches the problem of separating the notes from a quantized symbolic music piece (e.g., a MIDI file) into multiple voices and staves. This is a fundamental part of the larger task of music score engraving (or score…
We show that, when music pieces are cast in the form of time series of pitch variations, the concepts and tools of dynamical systems theory can be applied to the analysis of {\it temporal dynamics} in music. (i) Phase space portraits are…
Distinct striation patterns are observed in the spectrograms of speech and music. This motivated us to propose three novel time-frequency features for speech-music classification. These features are extracted in two stages. First, a preset…
We derive a schema of John Cage's meta-work the Silent piece from his compositions 4'33'', 0'00''(4'33'' No. 2), and One3, using the mathematics of category theory within Spivak and Kent's (2012) framework of ontological logs for knowledge…
Analyzing sequential data is crucial in many domains, particularly due to the abundance of data collected from the Internet of Things paradigm. Time series classification, the task of categorizing sequential data, has gained prominence,…
In recent years, thanks to advances in automatic music transcription (AMT), several large-scale datasets of automatically transcribed piano solo music have been released. While these datasets undoubtedly offer extensive material for…
Dynamic systems have found their use in sound synthesis as well as score synthesis. These levels can be integrated in monolithic autonomous systems in a novel approach to algorithmic composition that shares certain aesthetic motivations…
Tokenizing music to fit the general framework of language models is a compelling challenge, especially considering the diverse symbolic structures in which music can be represented (e.g., sequences, grids, and graphs). To date, most…
The representation of basic elements of music in terms of discrete audio signals is often used in software for musical creation and design. Nevertheless, there is no unified approach that relates these elements to the discrete samples of…
Statistical models and information theory have provided a useful set of tools for studying music from a quantitative perspective. These approaches have been employed to generate compositions, analyze structural patterns, and model cognitive…
Logarithmic gaps have been used in order to find a periodic component of the sequence of prime numbers, hidden by a random noise (stochastic or chaotic). It is shown that multiplicative nature of the noise is the main reason for the…
Probabilistic programming is related to a compositional approach to stochastic modeling by switching from discrete to continuous time dynamics. In continuous time, an operator-algebra semantics is available in which processes proceeding in…
This paper presents the Computoser hybrid probability/rule based algorithm for music composition (http://computoser.com) and provides a reference implementation. It addresses the issues of unpleasantness and lack of variation exhibited by…
Stochastic systems with memory naturally appear in life science, economy, and finance. We take the modelling point of view of stochastic functional delay equations and we study these structures when the driving noises admit jumps. Our…
Structure perception is a fundamental aspect of music cognition in humans. Historically, the hierarchical organization of music into structures served as a narrative device for conveying meaning, creating expectancy, and evoking emotions in…
This paper addresses the problem of cross-modal musical piece identification and retrieval: finding the appropriate recording(s) from a database given a sheet music query, and vice versa, working directly with audio and scanned sheet music…
Music rearrangement involves reshuffling, deleting, and repeating sections of a music piece with the goal of producing a standalone version that has a different duration. It is a creative and time-consuming task commonly performed by an…
Real music signals are highly variable, yet they have strong statistical structure. Prior information about the underlying physical mechanisms by which sounds are generated and rules by which complex sound structure is constructed (notes,…
The concept of complexity as considered in terms of its algorithmic definition proposed by G.J. Chaitin and A.N. Kolmogorov is revisited for the dynamical complexity of music. When music pieces are cast in the form of time series of pitch…
One of the biggest challenges of acoustic scene classification (ASC) is to find proper features to better represent and characterize environmental sounds. Environmental sounds generally involve more sound sources while exhibiting less…
