Unsupervised Generation of Percussion Sound Sequences from a Sound Example

In this paper we present a system that learns rhythmic patterns from drum audio recording and synthesizes music variations from the learnt sequence. The procedure described is completely unsupervised and embodies the transcription of a percussion sequence into a fuzzy multilevel representation. Moreover, a tempo estimation procedure identifying the most regular subsequence is used to guarantee ...

Extracting Action-Sound Features From a Sound-Tracing Study

The paper addresses possibilities of extracting information from music-related actions, in the particular case of what we call sound-tracings. These tracings are recordings from a graphics tablet of subjects’ drawings associated with a set of short sounds. Although the subjects’ associations to sounds are very subjective, and thus the resulting tracings are very different, an attempt is made at...

From Sound to Sounds

This chapter addresses machine audition and natural audition by carefully analyzing the difficulties and roles of audition in real-world conditions. The reason for this focus is my experience with the development of a verbal aggression detection system (van Hengel and Andringa, 2007). This system was first deployed in 2004 and 2005 in the inner city of Groningen (the Netherlands), by the abStract
