Musical Phrase - Structured Audio CommunicationJohn

چکیده
It has previously been shown that musical grammars can impose structural constraints upon the design of earcons, thereby providing a grammatical basis to earcon combinations. In this paper, more complex structural combinations are explored, based upon linguistic phrases. By mapping between a musical grammar and a linguistic grammar, musical phrases can be generated which correspond to linguistic sentences. A large number of unique meanings can be presented in this way based upon a simple musical vocabulary. This is of great value to auditory designers. A user study has been undertaken which reveals that users can recognise these complex auditory phrases after a small amount of training.

Searching Lyrical Phrases in A-Capella Turkish Makam Recordings
Search by lyrics, the problem of locating the exact occurrences of a phrase from lyrics in musical audio, is a recently emerging research topic. Unlike key-phrases in speech, lyrical key-phrases have durations that bear important relation to other musical aspects like the structure of a composition. In this work we propose an approach that address the differences of syllable durations, specific...
متن کاملSpotting a Query Phrase from Polyphonic Music Audio Signals Based on Semi-supervised Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
This paper proposes a query-by-audio system that aims to detect temporal locations where a musical phrase given as a query is played in musical pieces. The “phrase” in this paper means a short audio excerpt that is not limited to a main melody (singing part) and is usually played by a single musical instrument. A main problem of this task is that the query is often buried in mixture signals con...
متن کاملMusical Program Auralisation: Empirical Studies
Program auralisation aims to communicate information about program state, data, and behaviour using audio. We have argued that music offers many advantages as a communication medium [1]. The CAITLIN system [4, 16, 17, 18] was constructed to provide auralisations within a formal structured musical framework. Pilot studies [4, 16] showed that programmers could infer program structure from auralis...
متن کاملMusical Grammars as the Basis of Non-Speech Audio Communication
Non-speech audio communication has so far been possible through a series of mappings between the message to communicate and a somewhat arbitrary representation of that message in sound. By introducing the concept of a musical grammar, it is proposed that the arbitrariness of sound design can be reduced, resulting in a much more powerful communicative medium. By studying the ways in which formal...
متن کاملSparse and structured decomposition of audio signals on hybrid dictionaries using musical priors.
This paper investigates the use of musical priors for sparse expansion of audio signals of music, on an overcomplete dual-resolution dictionary taken from the union of two orthonormal bases that can describe both transient and tonal components of a music audio signal. More specifically, chord and metrical structure information are used to build a structured model that takes into account depende...
