Exploring Microtonal Matching
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most research into music information retrieval thus far has only examined music from the western tradition. However, music of other origins often conforms to different tuning systems. Therefore there are problems both in representing this music as well as finding matches to queries from these diverse tuning systems. We discuss the issues associated with microtonal music retrieval and present some preliminary results from an experiment in applying scoring matrices to microtonal matching.

How Different Are Our Perceptions of Equal-Tempered and Microtonal Intervals? A Behavioural and EEG Survey
For listeners familiar with Western twelve-tone equal-tempered (12-TET) music, a novel microtonal tuning system is expected to present additional processing challenges. We aimed to determine whether this was the case, focusing on the extent to which our perceptions can be considered bottom-up (psychoacoustic and primarily perceptual) and top-down (dependent on familiarity and cognitive processi...
متن کاملThe hayward tuning vine: an interface for just intonation
The Hayward Tuning Vine is a software interface for exploring the system of microtonal tuning known as Just Intonation. Based ultimately on prime number relationships, harmonic space in Just Intonation is inherently multidimensional, with each prime number tracing a unique path in space. Taking this multidimensionality as its point of departure, the Tuning Vine interface assigns a unique angle ...
متن کاملSound to Scale to sound: a setup for Microtonal Exploration and Composition
This paper elaborates on a setup for microtonal exploration, experimentation and composition. Where the initial design of the software Tarsos aimed for the scale analysis of ethnic music recordings, it turned out to deliver a flexible platform for pitch exploration of any kind of music. Scales from ethnic music, but also theoretically designed scales and scales from musical practice, can be ana...
متن کاملMicrotonal Notation: LilyPond as a score editor for Bohlen-Pierce Scales
Composers working with microtonal systems face a unique challenge: the difficult task of notating non-twelve-tone pitches on a standard staff system. A consideration of the scores of Carillo, Haba and Blackwood demonstrate that a turnkey notation solution for all microtonal scales may never be found, but customised individual systems can be of great benefit to the composer and to the performer....
متن کاملOn the analysis of musical performance by computer
Existing automatic methods of analysing musical performance can generally be described as music-oriented DSP analysis. However, this merely identifies attributes, or artefacts which can be found within the performance. This information, though invaluable, is not an analysis of the performance process. The process of performance first involves an analysis of the score (whether from a printed she...
