Classifying Music Audio with Timbral and Chroma Features
نویسنده
چکیده
Music audio classification has most often been addressed bymodeling the statistics of broad spectral features, which, by design, exclude pitch information and reflect mainly instrumentation. We investigate using instead beat-synchronous chroma features, designed to reflect melodic and harmonic content and be invariant to instrumentation. Chroma features are less informative for classes such as artist, but contain information that is almost entirely independent of the spectral features, and hence the two can be profitably combined: Using a simple Gaussian classifier on a 20-way pop music artist identification task, we achieve 54% accuracy with MFCCs, 30% with chroma vectors, and 57% by combining the two. All the data and Matlab code to obtain these results are available. 1

Music Structural Segmentation Across Genres with Gammatone Features
Music structural segmentation (MSS) studies to date mainly employ audio features describing the timbral, harmonic or rhythmic aspects of the music and are evaluated using datasets consisting primarily of Western music. A new dataset of Chinese traditional Jingju music with structural annotations is introduced in this paper to complement the existing evaluation framework. We discuss some statist...
متن کاملTimbre-invariant Audio Features for Style Analysis of Classical Music
We propose a novel set of chroma-based audio features inspired by pitch class set theory and show their utility for style analysis of classical music by using them to classify recordings into historical periods. Musicologists have long studied how composers’ styles develop and influence each other, but usually based on manual analyses of the score or, more recently, automatic analyses on symbol...
متن کاملAn Audio-Visual Approach to Music Genre Classification through Affective Color Features
This paper presents a study on classifying music by affective visual information extracted from music videos. The proposed audio-visual approach analyzes genre specific utilization of color. A comprehensive set of color specific image processing features used for affect and emotion recognition derived from psychological experiments or art-theory is evaluated in the visual and multi-modal domain...
متن کاملMirex 2008 Audio Music Classification Using a Combination of Spectral, Timbral, Rhythmic, Temporal and Symbolic Features
The novel approach of combining audio and symbolic features for music classification from audio enhanced previous audio-only based results in MIREX 2007. We extended the approach by including temporal audio features, enhancing the polyphonic audio to MIDI transcription system and including an extended set of symbolic features. Recent research in music genre classification hints at a glass ceili...
متن کاملMusic Structure Analysis from Acoustic Signals
Music is full of structure, including sections, sequences of distinct musical textures, and the repetition of phrases or entire sections. The analysis of music audio relies upon feature vectors that convey information about music texture or pitch content. Texture generally refers to the average spectral shape and statistical fluctuation, often reflecting the set of sounding instruments, e.g. st...
