Easy Does It: The Electro-Acoustic Music Analysis Toolbox
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present the EASY (Electro-Acoustic muSic analYsis) Toolbox software system for assisting electro-acoustic music analysis. The primary aims of the system are to present perceptually relevant features and audio descriptors via visual designs to gain more insight into electro-acoustic music works and provide easy-touse “click-and-go” software interface paradigms for practical use of the system by non-experts and experts alike. The development of the EASY system exploits MIR techniques with particular emphasis on the electroacoustic music repertoire – musical pieces that concentrate on timbral dimensions rather than traditional elements such as pitch, melody, harmony, and rhythm. The project was mainly inspired by the lack of software tools available for aiding electro-acoustic music analysis. The system’s frameworks, feature analysis algorithms, along with the initial analyses of pieces are presented here.

A Theoretical Framework for Electro-Acoustic Music
Developing a theoretical framework for electro-acoustic music presents an array of problems not present in the analysis of Western tonal and post-tonal music. We present a theoretical framework characterized by the interaction of a perceptual and an analytic model. The perception of a composition is used to inform the analytic model. The analytic model examines aspects of a composition ranging ...
متن کاملUn système interactif pour l'analyse des musiques électroacoustiques. (An interactive system for the analysis of electro-acoustic music)
Electro-acoustic music is still hardly studied in the field of Music Information Retrieval. Most research on this type of music focuses on composition tools, pedagogy and music analysis. In this thesis, we focus on scientific issues related to the analysis of electro-acoustic music. After placing this music into historical context, a study of the practices of three professional musicologist all...
