In recent years, source separation has been a central research topic in music signal processing, with applications in stereo-to-surround up-mixing, remixing tools for DJs or producers, instrument-wise equalizing, karaoke systems, and pre-processing in music analysis tasks. Musical sound sources, however, are often strongly correlated in time and frequency, and without additional knowledge about...

Let M0,n be the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space of algebraic curves of genus 0 with n marked points, labeled by 1, ..., n. This is a smooth projective variety defined over Q ([DM]), equipped with a natural action of the symmetric group Sn (by permuting the labels); its points are stable, possibly singular, curves of genus 0 with n labeled points. The geometry of this variet...

The aim was to develop a Drop Jump (DJ) protocol on dual force plate recordings (Dual Force Plate method: DFPM) assess lower limb power production and quantify impact loading, range of body center mass (BCM) excursion during human DJ, examine if single-plate analysis (Reverse Integration Method: RIM) valid alternative. Nineteen male subjects performed DJs from an elevated platform (48 cm). Kine...

The practice of harmonic mixing is a technique used by DJs for the beat-synchronous and harmonic alignment of two or more pieces of music. In this paper, we present a new harmonic mixing method based on psychoacoustic principles. Unlike existing commercial DJ-mixing software, which determines compatible matches between songs via key estimation and harmonic relationships in the circle of fifths,...

In this paper a novel approach is proposed to automatically classify the emotions of musical segments. The possible applications include the music recommendation system for the public or specialists like advertisers, physiotherapists, DJs, and film directors. The first step of this approach is to select musical segments from 75 musical works of different genres that may be expressive emotionall...

This article explores the role that cultural intermediaries, defined primarily as radio DJs and journalists, play in the lives of three unsigned UK urban music artists. Using semi-structured interviews, textual analysis of social media usage, and observation notes, as well as auto-ethnographic examination of the author's own career as a musician over a four-year period between 2010-13, it is su...

The Max Mathews’ Radio Baton (RB) has usually been applied as an orchestra conducting system, as interactive music composition controller using typical percussionist gestures, and as a controller for sound synthesis models. In the framework of the Sounding Object EU founded project, the RB has found new applications scenarios. Three applications were based on this controller. This was achieved ...

Many people choose to expose themselves to potentially dangerous sounds such as loud music, either via speakers, personal audio systems, or at clubs. The Conditioning, Adaptation and Acculturation to Loud Music (CAALM) Model has proposed a theoretical basis for this behaviour. To compare the model to data, we interviewed a group of people who were either regular nightclub-goers or who controlle...

We consider the data placement problem introduced by Baev & Rajaraman [1]. We have a set of caches, F , a set of data objects O, and a set of clients D. Each object s ∈ O has a length ls and a cache i ∈ F has capacity ui that limits the total length of data objects that may be stored in the cache. Further, each client j ∈ D has demand dj for a specific data object s(j) ∈ O and has to be assigne...
