Extracting Performers' Behaviors to Annotate Cases in a CBR System for Musical Tempo Transformations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a method, based on the edit distance, to construct cases of musical performances by annotating them with the musical behavior of the performer. The cases constructed with this knowledge are used in Tempo-Express, a CBR system for applying tempo transformations to musical performances, preserving musical

TempoExpress, a CBR Approach to Musical Tempo Transformations
In this paper, we describe a CBR system for applying musically acceptable tempo transformations to monophonic audio recordings of musical performances. Within the tempo transformation process, the expressivity of the performance is adjusted in such a way that the result sounds natural for the new tempo. A case base of previously performed melodies is used to infer the appropriate expressivity. ...
متن کاملNavigating Through Case Base Competence
The development of large-scale case-based reasoning systems has increased the necessity of providing tools for analyzing the case base structure. In this paper we present a hierarchical competence model approach based on the solution qualities. Using this hierarchical approach we propose a new method for visualizing case base competence and understanding the way a CBR system behaves in differen...
متن کاملAutomated Accompaniment of Musical Ensembles
This paper describes a computer accompaniment system capable of providing musical accompaniment for an ensemble of performers. The system tracks the performance of each musician in the ensemble to determine current score location and tempo of the ensemble. “Missing parts” in the composition (i.e., the accompaniment) are synthesized and synchronized to the ensemble. The paper presents an overvie...
متن کاملOn the analysis of musical expression in audio signals
In western art music, composers communicate their work to performers via a standard notation which specificies the musical pitches and relative timings of notes. This notation may also include some higher level information such as variations in the dynamics, tempo and timing. Famous performers are characterised by their expressive interpretation, the ability to convey structural and emotive inf...
متن کاملMelodic Characterization of monophonic Recordings for Expressive Tempo Transformations
The work described in this paper aims at developing a system that could perform expressive tempo transformations in monophonic instrument phrases. We have first developed a melodic description tool that extracts a set of acoustic features from monophonic recordings. This set of features is structured and stored following a description scheme that is derived from the current MPEG-7 standard. The...
