Rhythmic similarity through elaboration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rhythmic similarity techniques for audio tend to evaluate how close to identical two rhythms are. This paper proposes a similarity metric based on rhythmic elaboration that matches rhythms that share the same beats regardless of tempo or identicalness. Elaborations can help an application decide where to transition between songs. Potential applications include automatically generating a non-stop music mix or sonically browsing a music library.

Applying Rhythmic Similarity Based on Inner Metric Analysis to Folksong Research
In this paper we investigate the role of rhythmic similarity as part of melodic similarity in the context of Folksong research. We define a rhythmic similarity measure based on Inner Metric Analysis and apply it to groups of similar melodies. The comparison with a similarity measure of the SIMILE software shows that the two models agree on the number of melodies that are considered very similar...
متن کاملAudio Retrieval by Rhythmic Similarity
We present a method for characterizing both the rhythm and tempo of music. We also present ways to quantitatively measure the rhythmic similarity between two or more works of music. This allows rhythmically similar works to be retrieved from a large collection. A related application is to sequence music by rhythmic similarity, thus providing an automatic " disc jockey " function for musical lib...
متن کاملTarget-Based Rhythmic Pattern Generation and Variation with Genetic Algorithms
Composing drum patterns and musically developing them through repetition and variation is a typical task in electronic music production. We propose a system that, given an input pattern, automatically creates related patterns using a genetic algorithm. Two distance measures (the Hamming distance and directed-swap distance) that relate to rhythmic similarity are shown to derive usable fitness fu...
متن کاملMeasuring Similarity between Flamenco Rhythmic Patterns
Music similarity underlies a large part of a listener’s experience, as it relates to familiarity and associations between different pieces or parts. Rhythmic similarity has received scant research attention in comparison with other aspects of music similarity such as melody or harmony. Mathematical measures of rhythmic similarity have been proposed, but none of them has been compared to human j...
متن کاملMusic Retrieval by Rhythmic Similarity Applied on Greek and African Traditional Music
This paper presents a method for retrieving music recordings by means of rhythmic similarity in the context of traditional Greek and African music. To this end, Self Similarity Analysis is applied either on the whole recording or on instances of a music thumbnail that can be extracted from the recording with an optional thumbnailing scheme. This type of analysis permits the extraction of a rhyt...
