Faust is a musical signal processing language. The Faust compiler and the toolset provided along with it enable generating standalone synthesizers and plug-ins for various architectures. We noticed that while being a very useful tool for sound synthesis its VSTi plug-ins lack several critical features for practical usage in combination with music production software and digital audio workstatio...

Polyphonic music classification remains a very challenging area in the field of music information retrieval. In this study, we explore the performance of monophonic models on single parts that are extracted from the polyphony. The presented method is specifically designed for the case of voiced polyphony, but can be extended to any type of music with multiple parts. On a dataset of 207 Haydn an...

This paper formally characterizes the expressiveness of three approaches for polyphonic pattern representation and matching: R (relational patterns); H (Humdrum); and SPP (Structured Polyphonic Patterns). Relational networks have the highest expressiveness but H and SPP admit faster matching algorithms. It is shown how H and SPP can be cast as different restrictions of R, both providing an expr...

Hence he could be claimed to be an innovative avant-garde short story writer with unique stylistic characteristics. Although inspired by fiction writers such as Alavi, Sadeqi, Golestan and Sa'edi in the techniques of narration, Golshiri nonetheless stan...
