Segmentation and timbre- and rhythm-similarity in Electronic Dance Music

چکیده
This report describes the digital humanities project on music similarity. The project is a collaboration between the University of Amsterdam and audio software company Elephantcandy. The project’s aim was to investigate timbre and rhythm similarity and to develop an application that finds similar segments of music. In this report three models are described, one for structural segmentation, one for timbre similarity, and one for rhythm similarity of electronic dance music (EDM). The segmentation algorithm performs well on an EDM dataset as well as on a standard MIREX dataset. The timbre similarity algorithm has been tested in a pilot study and preliminary results are presented. Issues related to segmentation and similarity are discussed.

Segmentation and Timbre Similarity in Electronic Dance Music
In this paper we argue that the notion of music similarity should be expanded into sub-similarities, meaning that similarity of music has to be judged with respect to a certain context, such as melody, harmony, rhythm or timbre. We start by focusing on timbre similarity, restricted to the domain of Electronic Dance Music (EDM). We will assess the similarity of segments of music, thus we start b...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Rhythm Similarity Model for Electronic Dance Music
This research investigates rhythmic similarity in Electronic Dance Music (EDM). Rhythm in EDM is built on the concept of a ‘loop’, a repeating pattern often associated with a four-measure percussive pattern. In our model, music tracks are segmented using a structural segmentation algorithm developed in previous research, and features are extracted from the audio. A segment is split into differe...
متن کاملMultiple Scale Music Segmentation Using Rhythm, Timbre, and Harmony
The segmentation of music into intro-chorus-verse-outro, and similar segments, is a difficult topic. A method for performing automatic segmentation based on features related to rhythm, timbre, and harmony is presented, and compared, between the features and between the features and manual segmentation of a database of 48 songs. Standard information retrieval performance measures are used in the...
متن کاملUsing Timbre, Rhythm and Tempo Models for Audio Music Similarity Estimation
In this submission, audio features that approximate timbre, rhythm and tempo are used for genre classification and music similarity estimation. This abstract describes the feature set, distance computation method, and classifier model used for the submitted algorithms.
متن کاملEmpirical Analysis of Track Selection and Ordering in Electronic Dance Music using Audio Feature Extraction
Disc jockeys are in some ways the ultimate experts at selecting and playing recorded music for an audience, especially in the context of dance music. In this work, we empirically investigate factors affecting track selection and ordering using mixes created for the Essential Mix. The Essential Mix is a well known weekly radio show on BBC Radio 1 that showcases various styles of electronic dance...
