A Computational Model for Discriminating Music Performers
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study, a computational model that aims at the automatic discrimination of different human music performers playing the same piece is presented. The proposed model is based on the note level and does not require any deep (e.g., structural or harmonic, etc.) analysis. A set of measures that attempts to capture both the style of the author and the style of the piece is introduced. The presented approach has been applied to a database of piano sonatas by W.A. Mozart performed by both a French and a Viennese pianist with very encouraging preliminary results.

Quantifying the Differences between Music Performers: Score vs. Norm
In this study, a comparison of features for discriminating between different music performers playing the same piece is presented. Based on a series of statistical experiments on a data set of piano pieces played by 22 performers, it is shown that the deviation from the performance norm (average performance) is better able to reveal the performers’ individualities in comparison to the deviation...
متن کاملDiscriminating music performers by timbre: On the relation between instrumental gesture, tone quality and perception in classical cello performance
Classical music performers use instruments to transform the symbolic notation of the score into sound which is ultimately perceived by a listener. For acoustic instruments, the timbre of the resulting sound is assumed to be strongly linked to the physical and acoustical properties of the instrument itself. However, rather little is known about how much influence the player has over the timbre o...
متن کاملSpectral Learning for Expressive Interactive Ensemble Music Performance
We apply machine learning to a database of recorded ensemble performances to build an artificial performer that can perform music expressively in concert with human musicians. We consider the piano duet scenario and focus on the interaction of expressive timing and dynamics. We model different performers’ musical expression as coevolving time series and learn their interactive relationship from...
متن کاملExploring the effect of interface constraints on live collaborative music improvisation
This research investigates how applying interaction constraints to digital music instruments (DMIs) affects the way that experienced music performers collaborate and find creative ways to make live improvised music on stage. The constraints are applied in two forms: i) Physically implemented on the instruments themselves, and ii) hidden rules that are defined on a network between the instrument...
متن کاملAn Interactive Responsive Skin for Music
With the decreasing audience of classical music performance, this research aims to develop a performance-enhancement system, called AIDA, to help classical performers better communicating with their audiences. With three procedures Input-Processing-Output, AIDA system can sense and analyze the body information of performers and further reflect it onto the responsive skin. Thus abstract and inta...
