This paper presents a high time-resolution strategy to estimate multiple fundamental frequencies in musical signals. The signal is first divided into overlapping blocks, and a high-resolution estimate made of the short-term spectrum. The resulting spectrum is modified such that only the most relevant spectral components are considered, and an iterative algorithm based on earlier work by Klapuri...

This paper, presents an interactive approach for the analysis of electro-acoustic music. An original classification scheme is devised using relevance feedback and active-learning segment selection in an interactive loop. Validation and correction information given by the user is injected in the learning process at each iteration to achieve more accurate classification. An experimental study is ...

Search engines often employ techniques for determining syntactic similarity of Web pages. Such a tool allows them to avoid returning multiple copies of essentially the same page when a user makes a query. Here we describe our experience extending these techniques to MIDI music les. The music domain requires modi cation to cope with problems introduced in the musical setting, such as polyphony. ...

Sirens evoke images of alarm, public service, war, and forthcoming air raid. Outside of the music of Edgard Varése ([8], [9]), sirens have rarely been framed as musical instruments. By connecting air hoses to spinning disks with evenly-spaced perforations, the siren timbre is translated musically. Polyphony gives our instrument an organ-like personality: keys are mapped to different frequencies...

Bakhtin’s work has been appropriated not only for linguistics but also for different areas of knowledge such as Psychology, Education and Arts. Approximating this author’s work to the field of human development, it can be understood how dialogism and the Arts. In approaching this author’s field of language and human development, we can understand how the dialogism and polyphony can be evoked in...
