Melody Morphing Method Based on GTTM

چکیده
This paper describes a melody morphing method that generates an intermediate melody between a melody and another melody with a systematic order according to a certain numerical measure. Conventional music sequence software only operates on the surface structure of music, such as its notes and rests. The time-span tree, which is acquired from the music surface by using a music theory called GTTM (Generative Theory of Tonal Music), enables us to analyze the deeper structure. Our method makes it possible for one melody to be morphed into another melody by using a melody divisional reduction that applies meet and join operations to the GTTM timespan trees. Experimental results show that our morphing method makes it possible to generate intermediate melodies between two melodies.

Melody Extrapolation in GTTM Approach
We developed a melody-morphing method in which we input melodies A and B and not only interpolate but also extrapolate other melodies between those two melodies. This is done in a systematic order according to a certain numerical measure, based on the parameters which reflect the influential features of two input melodies. The main advantage of our method is that a time-span tree is used, which...
متن کاملComputational Music Theory and its Applications to Expressive Performance and Composition
This chapter describes a music analysis system based on a generative theory of tonal music (GTTM). Musical theory provides methodologies for analyzing and transcribing musical knowledge, experiences, and skills from a musician's way of thinking. Our concern is whether the concepts necessary for music analysis are sufficiently externalized in musical theory. Given its ability to formalize musica...
متن کاملMelody Expectation Method Based on GTTM and TPS
A method that predicts the next notes is described for assisting musical novices to play improvisations. Melody prediction is one of the most difficult problems in musical information retrieval because composers and players may or may not create melodies that conform to our expectation. The development of a melody expectation method is thus important for building a system that supports musical ...
متن کاملMelodic Morphing Algorithm in Formalism
We introduce a feature structure, corresponding to a timespan tree based on ‘A Generative Theory of Tonal Music’ (GTTM) for a music piece, and represent the reduction of the tree by the subsumption among these feature structures. As the collection of them forms a lattice, we can define the join and meet operations. We show a melodic morphing algorithm based on these simple operations.
متن کاملUse of Decisio Tree to Detect Gttm Group Bou Daries
We describe σGTTM that combines the generative theory of tonal music (GTTM) and statistical learning. We previously devised exGTTM, which has accommodated the original GTTM to computer implementations. The exGTTM has adjustable parameters, these parameters have to be manually configured. Therefore, it is not perfectly suited for automation. To make complete automation possible, we combined stat...
