Visualizing Musical Structure and Rhythm via Self-Similarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel approach to visualizing the time structure of musical waveforms. The acoustic similarity between any two instants of an audio recording is displayed in a static 2D representation, which makes structural and rhythmic characteristics visible. Unlike practically all prior work, this method characterizes self-similarity rather than specific audio attributes such as pitch or spectral features. Examples are presented for classical and popular music.

Perception of Rhythmic Similarity is Asymmetrical, and Is Influenced by Musical Training, Expressive Performance, and Musical Context
Rhythm is an essential part of the structure, behaviour, and aesthetics of music. However, the cognitive processing that underlies the perception of musical rhythm is not fully understood. In this study, we tested whether rhythm perception is influenced by three factors: musical training, the presence of expressive performance cues in human-performed music, and the broader musical context. We c...
متن کاملTransposition-Invariant Self-Similarity Matrices
Self-similarity matrices have become an important tool for visualizing the repetitive structure of a music recording. Transforming an audio data stream into a feature sequence, one obtains a self-similarity matrix by pairwise comparing all features of the sequence with respect to a local cost measure. The basic idea is that similar audio segments are revealed as paths of low cost along diagonal...
متن کاملA Video Compression-Based Approach to Measure Music Structural Similarity
The choice of the distance measure between time-series representations can be decisive to achieve good classification results in many content-based information retrieval applications. In the field of Music Information Retrieval, two-dimensional representations of the music signal are ubiquitous. Such representations are useful to display patterns of evidence that are not clearly revealed direct...
متن کاملThe musical language Elements of Persian musical language: modes, rhythm and syntax
In treating the subject of musical language, a Persian musician would be intrinsically drawn to the structural similarities between the Persian music and language. Indeed Persian music and language are extremely related in their metrics, intonations and structural phrases (syntax). Although we will draw upon this relationship, our aim in this article is to present “music as a language,” c...
متن کاملTime-frequency Analysis of Musical Rhythm
W e shall use the mathematical techniques of Gabor transforms and continuous wavelet transforms to analyze the rhythmic structure of music and its interaction with melodic structure. This analysis reveals the hierarchical structure of rhythm. Hierarchical structure is common to rhythmic performances throughout the world’s music. The work described here is interdisciplinary and experimental. We ...
