Melody and Modern Music

Melody Maker The Music

In this paper we describe how we have developed an application that is capable of evolving melodies with some human help to guide it. We have developed this system using evolutionary algorithms and interactive evolution. The user can use the application to, first, evolve short blocks of notes, and second, to combine these blocks into longer melodies using more evolutionary techniques. The resul...

Music style mining and classification by melody

Music style is one of the features that people used to classify music. Discovery of music style is helpful for the design of content-based music retrieval system. In this paper we investigated the mining and classification of music style by melody from a collection of MIDI music. We extracted the chord from the melody and investigate the representation of extracted features and corresponding mi...

Melody Extraction from Polyphonic Music: Mirex 2011

In this paper we describe our submission for the audio melody extraction task of the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX) 2011 campaign. The system presented here is an updated version of the one submitted to last year’s campaign. Following a detailed analysis of each step of our method, system parameters have been optimised for melody extraction and the implementation is now...

Similarity Matching Method for Music Melody Retrieval

In the research on content-based music retrieval, the fixed length of window is generally used to extract the features of melody. It has separated one fragment of music melody into multiple shorter window data. This will lose the whole feature of music melody and cause lower accuracy of retrieval. Therefore, current content-based music retrieval algorithms are discussed in detail and the emphas...
