Within the stratified harmonic behavior known as melodic-harmonic divorce, this paper identifies a gesture repeated idiomatically across rock repertory. Dubbed “sub-circle” motion, idiom is specifically form of syntax divorce wherein melodic layer unfolds in way consonant with and suggestive circle-of-fifths root motion (+P4) between two accompanying major chords; however, layer...

The aim of this work is to present a model for representing chord sequences using n-grams, an approach from the language recognition field. Previous works show that there exist various means to represent chords, with more or less accuracy. Underlined limitations in [14] are the modeling of rare chords and the representation of chords using an appropriate alphabet. Recent works in the METISS tea...

An early characterization of distance-hereditary graphs is that every cycle of length 5 or more has crossing chords. A new, stronger, property is that in every cycle of length 5 or more, some chord has at least two crossing chords. This new property can be characterized by every block being complete multipartite, and also by the vertex sets of cycles of length 5 or more always inducing 3-connec...

Event-related brain potentials in response to harmonically inappropriate chords were compared for musical experts and novices. Similar to previous studies, these chords elicited an early right anterior negativity (ERAN). The amplitude of the ERAN was clearly larger for musical experts than for novices, presumably because experts had more specific musical expectancies than novices. Chords with a...

Song Kernel is a chord-and-note harmonizing musical input interface applicable to electronic instruments in both hardware and software format. It enables to play chords and melodies while visualizing harmonic functions of chords within a scale of western music in one single static pattern. It provides amateur musicians, as well as people with no experience in playing music, a graphic and intuit...

Musical chords are combinations of two or more tones played together. While many different chords are used in music, some are heard as more attractive (consonant) than others. We have previously suggested that, for reasons of biological advantage, human tonal preferences can be understood in terms of the spectral similarity of tone combinations to harmonic human vocalizations. Using the chromat...

For the MIREX 2010 Audio Chord Extraction task, we submitted a total of four systems. Our base system is a trainable chord recognizer based on two-band chroma representations and using a Structured SVM classifier to replace the more familiar hidden Markov model. We submit two versions of this system, one which transposes all training data through all 12 possible chords to maximize the training ...

The interferometer system on the Helically Symmetric eXperiment (HSX) stellarator uses an expanded beam and linear detector array to realize a multichord measurement. Unlike conventional interferometry which determines the plasma phase shift with respect to a reference, directly evaluating the phase between two adjacent chords can be employed to measure the change in plasma phase with impact pa...
