Automated beat tracking and tempo estimation from music recordings become challenging tasks in the case of nonpercussive music with soft note onsets and time-varying tempo. In this paper, we introduce a novel mid-level representation which captures predominant local pulse information. To this end, we first derive a tempogram by performing a local spectral analysis on a previously extracted, pos...

We investigated whether and how the timing of musical rhythms changes with tempo. Twelve skilled pianists played a monophonic 8-bar melody in 21 different rhythmic versions at 4 different tempi. Within bars, the rhythms represented two isochronous patterns and all possible ordered pairs and triplets of different note values with ratios from the set {3, 2, 1}. The 3-note rhythms also occurred in...

Learning reflects the influence of experience on genetically determined circuitry, but little is known about how experience and genetics interact to determine complex learned phenotypes. Here, we used vocal learning in songbirds to study how experience and genetics contribute to interindividual differences in learned song. Previous work has established that such differences in song within a spe...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS A long existing notion is that the presence of music might affect gambling behavior. In spite of this, little empirical research on the subject exists. The main aim of the present study was to corroborate and elaborate on the existing findings concerning gambling and music through a laboratory based experiment. METHODS A nonclinical sample of 101 undergraduate students (72...

This paper presents an interface for finding interpretations of a user-specified music, Query-by-Conducting. In classical music, there are many interpretations to a particular piece, and finding “the” interpretation that matches the listener’s taste allows a listener to further enjoy the piece. The critical issue in finding such an interpretation is the way or interface to allow the listener to...

Respiration rate allows to differentiate between happy and sad excerpts which may be attributable to entrainment of respiration to the rhythm or the tempo rather than to emotions [Etzel, J.A., Johnsen, E.L., Dickerson, J., Tranel, D., Adolphs, R., 2006. Cardiovascular and respiratory responses during musical mood induction. Int. J. Psychophysiol. 61(1), 57-69]. In order to test for this hypothe...

Measurements of tempo and dynamics from audio files or MIDI data are frequently used to get insight into a performer's contribution to music. The measured variations in tempo and dynamics are often represented in different formats by different authors. Few systematic comparisons have been made between these representations. Moreover, it is unknown what data representation comes closest to subje...
