The instrument researcher himself as main instrument, data collection carried out through literature study, observation document stages.The results showed that has tempo 60-65 3/4 bar. Using major scale, se...

This paper presents a prototype tool for browsing through multimedia libraries using content-based multimedia information retrieval techniques. It is composed of several groups of components for multimedia analysis, data mining, interactive visualization, as well as connection with external hardware controllers. The musical application of this tool uses descriptors of timbre, harmony, as well a...

Music Genre Classification is one of the most active tasks in Music Information Retrieval (MIR). Many successful approaches can be found in literature. Most of them are based on Machine Learning algorithms applied to different audio features automatically computed for a specific database. But there is no computational model that explains how musical features are combined in order to yield genre...

The modal testing has proven to be an effective and non-destructive test method for estimation of the dynamic stiffness and damping constant. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the modal response of stiffened Fiber Metal Laminated (FML) circular cylindrical shells using experimental and numerical techniques. For this purpose, three types of FML-stiffened shells are fabricated by a s...

Because music conveys and evokes feelings, a wealth of research has been performed on music emotion recognition. Previous research has shown that musical mood is linked to features based on rhythm, timbre, spectrum and lyrics. For example, sad music correlates with slow tempo, while happy music is generally faster. However, only limited success has been obtained in learning automatic classifier...

Harmony networks have been proposed as a means by which connectionist models can perform symbolic computation. Indeed, proponents claim that a harmony network can be built that constructs parse trees for strings in a context free language. This paper shows that harmony networks do not work in the following sense: they construct many outputs that are not valid parse trees. In order to show that ...

Multi-objective optimization of industrial styrene reactor is done using Harmony Search algorithm. Harmony search algorithm is a recently developed meta-heuristic algorithm which is inspired by musical improvisation process aimed towards obtaining the best harmony. Three objective functions – productivity, selectivity and yield are optimized to get best combination of decision variables for sty...

In this paper we argue that the notion of music similarity should be expanded into sub-similarities, meaning that similarity of music has to be judged with respect to a certain context, such as melody, harmony, rhythm or timbre. We start by focusing on timbre similarity, restricted to the domain of Electronic Dance Music (EDM). We will assess the similarity of segments of music, thus we start b...

This thesis describes the ideal properties of an adaptable music classification system based on unsupervised machine learning, and argues that such a system should be based on the fundamental musical properties of timbre, rhythm, melody and harmony. The first two properties and the signal features associated with them are then explored in more depth. In the area of timbre, the relationship betw...

This study aimed to investigate the role of Sarawak indigenous popular music (SIPM) in shaping identity Sarawakians at personal, social, local, and regional levels. Using surveys interviews, research examined how SIPM was perceived by it contributed creation their unique identity. The findings revealed that respondents identified as is sung or performed languages, incorporates musical elements ...
