The present article talks about a model of analysis and interpretation music through the metaphorical translation each musical parameter. In order for to be therapeutic means, we believe that it must become experience facilitate access deep areas self, as well raise questions problems extra-musical origin. Thus, has metaphor can resonate with therapist use in health promotion process, final cen...

Humans tend to organize perceived information into hierarchies and structures, a principle that also applies to music. Even musically untrained listeners unconsciously analyze and segment music with regard to various musical aspects, for example, identifying recurrent themes or detecting temporal boundaries between contrasting musical parts. This paper gives an overview of state-of-theart metho...

This paper presents a system that makes use of machine listening techniques to analyse an incoming musical audio signal and determine various musical properties such as dynamics, tempo, and style. With this knowledge, the system generates an expressive drumbeat to accompany the input audio signal in real time. These drumbeats are created with a set of genetic algorithms which are designed to mo...

Human listeners are able to recognize structure in music through the perception of repetition and other relationships within a piece of music. This work aims to automate the task of music analysis. Music is “explained” in terms of embedded relationships, especially repetition of segments or phrases. The steps in this process are the transcription of audio into a representation with a similarity...

Introduction: Children with cochlear implants (CIs) may experience few opportunities for positive musical experiences, and musical perception is therefore often not sufficiently developed. This paper investigates and discusses the relationship between intelligence quotient (IQ) and musical ability in children with CIs compared with children with normal hearing.                                  ...

Mobile phone handsets have introduced new possibilities for musical interaction between multiple performers, as we reported in previous papers. Wireless communication between handsets now extends these possibilities even further. This paper describes development and implementation of a new performance scenario that involves remote instrument control using a Bluetooth connection. The paper propo...

The concept of Iranian traditional musical modes, namely DASTGÄH, is the basis for the traditional music system. The concept introduces seven DASTGÄHs. It is not an easy process to distinguish these modes and such practice is commonly performed by an experienced person in this field. Apparently, applying artificial intelligence to do such classification requires a combination of the basic infor...

We developed a computational model for automatically voicing chords based on a Bayesian network. Automatic chord voicing is difficult because it is necessary to choose extended notes and inversions by taking into account musical simultaneity and sequentiality. We overcome this difficulty by inferring the most likely chord voicing using a Bayesian network model where musical simultaneity and seq...

The chance-based compositional techniques utilized by composer John Cage in such works as “String Quartet in Four Parts” and “Music of Changes” made use of a compositional framework of gamuts and gamut squares that serves as the object-model for a compositional software application capable of transforming musical data cells using both chance-based and probabilitydriven functions. Written in Jav...
