TempoExpress: An Expressivity-Preserving Musical Tempo Transformation System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The research described in this paper focuses on global tempo transformations of monophonic audio recordings of saxophone jazz performances. More concretely, we have investigated the problem of how a performance played at a particular tempo can be automatically rendered at another tempo while preserving its expressivity. To do so we have developed a case-based reasoning system called TempoExpress. The results we have obtained have been extensively compared against a standard technique called uniform time stretching (UTS), and show that our approach is superior to UTS.

Play It Again: A Case-Based Approach to Expressivity-Preserving Tempo Transformations in Music
It has been long established that when humans perform music, the result is never a literal mechanical rendering of the score. That is, humans deviate from the score. As far as these performance deviations are intentional, they are commonly thought of as conveying musical expressivity which is a fundamental aspect of music. Two main functions of musical expressivity are generally recognized. Fir...

متن کاملTempoExpress, a CBR Approach to Musical Tempo Transformations
In this paper, we describe a CBR system for applying musically acceptable tempo transformations to monophonic audio recordings of musical performances. Within the tempo transformation process, the expressivity of the performance is adjusted in such a way that the result sounds natural for the new tempo. A case base of previously performed melodies is used to infer the appropriate expressivity. ...
