Multiple Viewpoint Modeling of North Indian Classical Vocal Compositions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous research has shown that ensembles of variable length Markov models (VLMMs), known as Multiple Viewpoint Models (MVMs), can be used to predict the continuation of Western tonal melodies, and outperform simpler, fixed-order Markov models. Here we show that this technique can be effectively applied to predicting melodic continuation in North Indian classical music, providing further evidence that MVMs are an effective means for modeling temporal structure in a wide variety of musical systems.

متن کاملObjective Evaluation of a Melody Extractor for North Indian Classical Vocal Performances
Obtaining accurate melodic contours from polyphonic music is essential to several music-informationretrieval (MIR) applications and is also useful from a musicological perspective. The presence of tabla and tanpura accompaniment in north Indian classical vocal performances, however, degrades the performance of common pitch detection algorithms (PDAs) that are known to provide accurate results w...
متن کاملDetecting tala Computationally in Polyphonic Context - A Novel Approach
In North-Indian-Music-System(NIMS),tablā is mostly used as percussive accompaniment for vocal-music in polyphonic-compositions. The human auditory system uses perceptual grouping of musical-elements and easily filters the tablā component, thereby decoding prominent rhythmic features like tāla, tempo from a polyphonic-composition. For Western music, lots of work have been reported for automated ...
متن کاملNovelty That Must Be Subtle: Continuity, Innovation and ‘Improvisation’ in North Indian Music
The two quotations above, which I will revisit later in the paper, encapsulate something of a conundrum in North Indian classical performance, a conundrum which may also apply in other musical styles. The first criticises a performer who has not executed a series of fast notes, tans, in such a way as to be identifiable as those taught by his teacher. He is understood by the commentator to have,...
