Genre Classification Using Bass-Related High-Level Features and Playing Styles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Considering its mediation role between the poles of rhythm, harmony, and melody, the bass plays a crucial role in most music genres. This paper introduces a novel set of transcription-based high-level features that characterize the bass and its interaction with other participating instruments. Furthermore, a new method to model and automatically retrieve different genre-specific bass playing styles is presented. A genre classification task is used as benchmark to compare common machine learning algorithms based on the presented high-level features with a classification algorithm solely based on detected bass playing styles.

Bass Playing Style Detection Based on High-level Features and Pattern Similarity
In this paper, we compare two approaches for automatic classification of bass playing styles, one based on highlevel features and another one based on similarity measures between bass patterns. For both approaches, we compare two different strategies: classification of patterns as a whole and classification of all measures of a pattern with a subsequent accumulation of the classification result...
متن کاملUsing Bass-line Features for Content-Based MIR
We propose new audio features that can be extracted from bass lines. Most previous studies on content-based music information retrieval (MIR) used low-level features such as the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients and spectral centroid. Musical similarity based on these features works well to some extent but has a limit to capture fine musical characteristics. Because bass lines play important ...
متن کاملClassification of Musical Playing Styles using MIDI Information
The automation of playing style classification is a crucial step in the analysis of musical information. In this work, “style” is taken to be a more functional description of a specific instrument within a song rather than a description of the genre or articulation in which that instrument is playing. It is shown that by using a supervised learning approach, we can classify the playing style of...
متن کاملAudio Genre Classification Using Rhythm and Bass Pattern Information
This paper discusses an approach for the feature extraction for audio genre classification and many other tasks of music information retrieval (MIR). Many musical genres are characterized not only by timbral information but also by temporal features such as rhythm patterns and bass-line patterns. In particular, modern music pieces mostly have certain fixed rhythm and bass-line patterns per genr...
