Representation and Discovery of Vertical Patterns in Music

نویسنده

چکیده

The automated discovery of recurrent patterns in music is a fundamental task in computational music analysis. This paper describes a new method for discovering patterns in the vertical and horizontal dimensions of polyphonic music. A formal representation of music objects is used to structure the musical surface, and several ideas for viewing pieces as successions of vertical structures are examined. A knowledge representation method is used to view pieces as sequences of relationships between music objects, and a pattern discovery algorithm is applied using this view of the Bach chorale harmonizations to find significant recurrent patterns. The method finds a small set of vertical patterns that occur in a large number of pieces in the corpus. Most of these patterns represent specific voice leading formulae within cadences.

Representation and Discovery of Multiple Viewpoint Patterns

An important problem in computational music analysis is the representation and automated discovery of recurrent patterns. In this paper we present a new method for pattern representation and discovery in a large corpus of music. Using the formalism of multiple viewpoints, music is viewed as multiple streams of description derived from the basic surface representation. Patterns are discovered wi...

Representation and discovery of feature set patterns in music⋆

In this paper we describe and apply a method for discovering patterns within music corpora. Previous approaches to the problem have represented melodies in terms of single abstract attribute sequences, and therefore efficient repeated substring algorithms could be applied for the detection of recurrent patterns. This paper presents a new approach, based on sequential pattern mining and knowledg...

A Methodological Contribution to Music Sequences Analysis

In this paper we present a stepwise method for the analysis of musical sequences. The starting point is either a MIDI file or the score of a piece of music. The result is a set of likely themes and motifs. The method relies on a pitch intervals representation of music and an event discovery system that extracts significant and repeated patterns from sequences. We report and discuss the results ...

In traditional architecture, the adherence of architects to the rules and proportions in numbers, geometry and music is present in designing and shaping many public monuments, and mathematical proportions, artistic ratios, or musical proportions are used in geometry of these buildings. Extracting and matching mathematical rules and proportions and examining them in the architecture of the tradi...
