The affective aspect of music, often referred as music mood or emotion, has been recently recognized as an important factor in organizing and accessing music information. However, music mood is far from being well studied in information science. For example, there is no consensus on whether to use mood or emotion to refer the affective aspect of music. Also, the lack of consensus on music mood ...

After several years of research and development, PROBADO Music—a multimodal digital music library system—is now made available for the public. To allow access to anyone from anywhere, we have prepared a collection of public domain music material that is accessible through our system. Besides streaming and presenting digital music documents (scanned sheet music, audio recordings, and lyrics), PR...

This paper presents a technique for enhancing music information by annotation, and we apply the technique of annotated music to a collaborative music creation system on the Web, Music Resonator (MR). In MR, a user retrieves music fragments from Pool, processes them on Operation Diagram Editor and shares new music fragments with others, just as people readily exchange emails through mobile phone...

Background interference creates voice intelligibility issue for listener. This research work considers background music as interference for communication through smart phone in areas with loud background music. This paper proposes a novel framework for background music segregation from human speech using music fingerprinting and acoustic echo cancellation. Initially, background music is searche...

Much of the difficulty in Music Information Retrieval can be traced to problems of good music representations, understanding music structure, and adequate models of music perception. In short, the central problem of Music Information Retrieval is Music Understanding, a topic that also forms the basis for much of the work in the fields of Computer Music and Music Perception. It is important for ...

We describe a system for bidirectionally coupling the music and gameplay of digital games, so gameplay procedurally varies the music, and music procedurally varies the game. Our goal is to inject game music more closely into the core of gameplay, rather than having the music serve as an aesthetic layer on top; traditionally, music responds to game state, but not vice versa. Such a coupling has ...

Music is a universal human trait. The healing power of music has been acknowledged in almost all traditions of music. Music therapy is moving from a social-science model focusing on overall health and well-being towards a neuroscience model focusing on specific elements of music and its effect on sensorimotor, language and cognitive functions. The handful of evidence-based music therapy studies...

the world of music. Musicians use inexpensive personal computers instead of expensive recording studios to record, mix, and engineer music. Musicians use the Internet to distribute their music for free instead of spending large amounts of money creating CDs, hiring trucks, and shipping them to hundreds of record stores. As the cost to create and distribute recorded music has dropped, the amount...

background: today, endoscopic evaluation of digestive system is an important diagnostic approach in gastrointestinal diseases. as it is an invasive method, it causes fear and anxiety in patients. the current study was fulfilled to evaluate the effect of music therapy during endoscopy on the anxiety of patients by measuring blood pressure. methods: this is an experimental study of single blind c...

We synchronize background music with a video by changing the timing of music, an approach that minimizes the damage to music data. Starting from a MIDI file and video data, feature points are extracted from both sources, paired, and then synchronized using dynamic programming to time-scale the music. We also introduce the music graph, a directed graph that encapsulates connections between many ...
