An Integrated Approach to the Taxonomic Identification of Prehistoric Shell Ornaments

Shell beads appear to have been one of the earliest examples of personal adornments. Marine shells identified far from the shore evidence long-distance transport and imply networks of exchange and negotiation. However, worked beads lose taxonomic clues to identification, and this may be compounded by taphonomic alteration. Consequently, the significance of this key early artefact may be underes...

Automated quantisation and transcription of Ornaments from audio recordings

We propose a new method for rhythm quantisation and measurement of expressive timing. This paper focuses on the automatic quantisation and rhythmic transcription of syncopated rhythms and baroque ornaments, e.g. appogiaturas, mordants and trills from time-tagged audio recordings without knowing the score in advance. We demonstrate the transcription of the Aria of J. S. Bach’s Goldberg Variation...

AIK, the Assembler Interpreter from Kentucky

Building an assembler is not all that hard, but it is not a trivial task and quite frequently it is a necessary evil. Over the past few decades, various “generic” assemblers and assembler generators have been developed to ease the burden.
