Melody estimation or melody extraction refers to the extraction of the primary or fundamental dominant frequency in a melody. This sequence of frequencies obtained represents the pitch of the dominant melodic line from recorded music audio…
In the study of the arithmetic structure of elliptic modular groups which are the fundamental groups of compactified modular curves, these truncated group algebras and their direct sums are considered to construct elliptic modular motives.…
We present an algorithm for constructing analytically approximate integrals of motion in simple time periodic Hamiltonians of the form $H=H_0+ \varepsilon H_i$, where $\varepsilon$ is a perturbation parameter. We apply our algorithm in a…
We define a motivic Greenlees spectral sequence by characterising an associated $t$-structure. We then examine a motivic version of topological Hochschild homology for the motivic cohomology spectrum modulo a prime number $p$. Finally, we…
We propose the use of specific dynamical processes and more in general of ideas from Physics to model the evolution in time of musical structures. We apply this approach to two \'Etudes by F. Chopin, namely op.10 n.3 and op.25 n.1,…
We define a notion of colimit for diagrams in a motivic category indexed by a presheaf of spaces (e.g. an \'etale classifying space), and we study basic properties of this construction. As a case study, we construct the motivic analogs of…
Most work on musical score models (a.k.a. musical language models) for music transcription has focused on describing the local sequential dependence of notes in musical scores and failed to capture their global repetitive structure, which…
To many people, music is a mystery. It is uniquely human, because no other species produces elaborate, well organized sound for no particular reason. It has been part of every known civilization on earth. It has become a very part of man's…
We study, through new recurrence relations for certain binomial coefficients modulo a power of a prime, the evolution of the primitives of a modular periodic sequence. We prove that we can reduce to study primitives of constant sequences…
Consonance is related to the perception of pleasantness arising from a combination of sounds and has been approached quantitatively using mathematical relations, physics, information theory, and psychoacoustics. Tonal consonance is present…
We introduce the concept of time series motifs for time series analysis. Time series motifs consider not only the spatial information of mutual visibility but also the temporal information of relative magnitude between the data points. We…
Music comprises two core structural components, melody and rhythm, that vary widely across cultures. Whether these components coevolve in a coupled way or follow independent trajectories remains unclear. We introduce a novel computational…
In this paper, we will study the simplest kind of beauty that can be found in a simple piece of music and can be appreciated universally. The proposed approach shows that aesthetically appealing patterns deliver higher amount of information…
We compute the motivic nearby cycles of functions obtained by composition of two functions with distinct sets of variables with a two variable function
The Pythagorean school attributed consonance in music to simplicity of frequency ratios between musical tones. In the last two centuries, the consonance curves developed by Helmholtz, Plompt and Levelt shifted focus to psycho-acoustic…
Most music theory books are like medieval medical textbooks: they contain unjustified superstition, non-reasoning, and funny symbols glorified by Latin phrases. How does music, in particular harmony, actually work, presented as a real,…
The mathematics of musical intervals and scales has been extensively studied. Vastly simplified, our ears seem to prefer intervals whose frequency ratios have small numerator and denominator, such as 2:1 (octave), 3:2 (perfect fifth), 4:3…
We construct elements in the motivic cohomology of certain rank 4 weight 3 Calabi--Yau motives, and write down explicit expressions for the regulators of these elements in the context of conjectures on $L$-values such as those of Beilinson…
Since most of music has repetitive structures from motifs to phrases, repeating musical ideas can be a basic operation for music composition. The basic block that we focus on is conceptualized as loops which are essential ingredients of…
Many musical instruments, as for example woodwind instruments, flute or violins, are self-sustained oscillating systems, i.e. musician enacts as a continuous energy source to drive an oscillation in the passive resonator, the body of the…
