Automated methods for audio-based music analysis with applications to musicology

This thesis contributes to bridging the gap between music information retrieval (MIR) and musicology. We present several automated methods for music analysis, which are motivated by concrete application scenarios being of central importance in musicology. In this context, the automated music analysis is performed on the basis of audio material. Here, one reason is that for a given piece of musi...

Unfolding the Potential of Computational Musicology

This paper addresses current chances and challenges in computational musicology. Computational musicology is a genuinely interdisciplinary research area that requires the contribution of questions, methods and insights from both musicology and computer science. This paper demonstrates how computational approaches to musicological questions generate new perspectives for musicology. In turn, comp...

Discovering Morphological Similarity in Traditional Forms of Music

In this report, the problem of the analysis of traditional music of the island of Crete is analyzed. Research results from musicology are outlined and confronted with the state of the art in music information retrieval. It is clarified that no systematic computational approach for this analysis exists, whereas it could form a useful tool for research in musicology. An analysis method as applied...

An Introduction on Formal and Computational Models in Popular Music Analysis and Generation

This article provides a first introduction to some formal and computational models applied in the analysis and generation of popular music (including rock, jazz, and chanson). It summarizes the main philosophy underlying the project entitled “Modèles formels dans et pour la musique pop, le jazz et la chanson”, which constitutes one of the research axes of the GDR ESARS (Esthétique, Art & Scienc...
