An Interactive Rhythm Training Tool for Usuls of Turkish Makam Music
نویسندگان
چکیده
The education of the Turkish makam music practice is carried out by face-to-face sessions with the masters. Our aim in this work is to present a rhythm training software that helps users imitate recording of a master and receive visual feedback about their performances compared to the recording of the master. The system automatically detects onsets in the recordings and then performs comparison of the onset locations with a novel approach defined here. We present a demonstration of the software and preliminary test results on basic rhythmic patterns of Turkish makam music.

متن کاملAutomatic Transcription of Turkish Makam Music
In this paper we propose an automatic system for transcribing makam music of Turkey. We document the specific traits of this music that deviate from properties that were targeted by transcription tools so far and we compile a dataset of makam recordings along with aligned microtonal ground-truth. An existing multi-pitch detection algorithm is adapted for transcribing music in 20 cent resolution...

متن کاملTempo and Prosody in Turkish Taksim Improvisation
Instrumental improvisation in Turkish makam music, the taksim, is considered to be free-rhythm, that is its rhythm develops without the underlying template of a meter or continuous organized pulsation. In this paper, we want to examine how in this setting, rhythmic idioms are formed and maintained throughout a performance. For this, we will apply a simple signal processing approach. We show dif...
متن کاملMetrical Strength and Contradiction in Turkish Makam Music
In this paper we investigate how note onsets in Turkish Makam music compositions are distributed, and in how far this distribution supports or contradicts the metrical structure of the pieces, the usul. We use MIDI data to derive the distributions in the form of onset histograms, and compare them with metrical weights that are applied to describe the usul in theory. We compute correlation and s...
