Groove is often described as the experience of music that makes people tap their feet and want to dance. A high degree of consistency in ratings of groove across listeners indicates that physical properties of the sound signal contribute to groove (Madison, 2006). Here, correlations were assessed between listeners' ratings and a number of quantitative descriptors of rhythmic properties for one ...

Rhythmic patterns are an important structural element in music. This paper investigates the use of rhythmic pattern modeling to infer metrical structure in musical audio recordings. We present a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based system that simultaneously extracts beats, downbeats, tempo, meter, and rhythmic patterns. Our model builds upon the basic structure proposed by Whiteley et. al [20], whi...

In this paper, the problem of automatically assigning a piece of traditional Turkish music into a class of rhythm referred to as usul is addressed. For this, an approach for rhythmic similarity measurement based on scale transforms has been evaluated on a set of MIDI data. Because this task is related to time signature estimation, the accuracy of the proposed method is evaluated and compared wi...

In this paper we introduce and explore a method for extracting low dimensional features from digitized recordings of music performance: The so called constant Q scale degree profiles are 12-dimensional vectors that reflect the prominence of the 12 scale degrees in a section of a piece of music they are extracted from. Here we study the type and amount of information that is captured in those pr...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of music therapy and rhythmic exercise on health related quality of life, blood pressure and upper extremity muscle strength in the institution-dwelling elderly women. METHODS The study was designed using a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The participants consisted of 35 elders (18 in the experimental group an...

Two quantization models for ‘expressive’ rendering of complex rhythmic patterns are discussed. A multinesting quantizer captures expressivity by allowing fine-grained/high-quality resolution, thus covering the automatic transcription of a wide range of rhythmic configurations, yielding from simple to rather complex music notations. A look-up table quantizer is discussed as another model to atta...

a 30-year-old woman presented with a palpable subcutaneous nodule in the areolar region of the left breast. sonomammographic examination revealed 2 cystic lesions showing typical “filarial dance” as vigorous twirling movement of multiple curvilinear echoes with mixed red blue color doppler signals that was non-rhythmic, nonpulsatile, and the characteristic pulse doppler trace due to irregular w...

The neurologic music therapy is a new scope of music therapy. Its techniques deal with dysfunctions resulting from diseases of the human nervous system. Music can be used as an alternative modality to access functions unavailable through non-musical stimulus. Processes in the brain activated by the influence of music can be generalized and transferred to non-musical functions. Therefore, in cli...

In this study, we examined differences in music-evoked emotions and music liking between two approaches to teaching ear-training school. Participants were 423 pupils (60% female; Mage = 10.55 years, SDage 0.92) the third grade. lessons prepared either by standard (STA) or multimodal interdisciplinary cognitive-emotional approach (CEA), listened a 2-minute excerpt from 4th movement (Allegro con ...

The musical of composition "Kompangku" is a work inspired by Kompang's percussion music that grew and developed in Rengat, Indragiri Hulu. As far as studies have been conducted on Kompang’s music, the authors can state space time up-beat peningkah has very important role producing interlocking rhythms accumulate rhythmic cycle cycle, so formula for ostinato-moving rhythms. principle playing pat...
