When a 2D Fourier Transform is applied to piano roll plots which are often used in sequencer software, the resulting 2D graphic is a novel music visualization which reveals internal musical structure. This visualization converts the set of musical notes from the notation display in the piano roll plot to a display which shows structure over time and spectrum within a set musical time period. Th...

Tristan i demon południa Artykuł proponuje odczytanie średniowiecznych powieści o Tristanie autorstwa Béroula Thomasa z Anglii w świetle doktryny acedii Ewagriusza Pontu. Punktem wyjścia jest pojęcie „demona południa”, rozumianego przez jako popychający mnicha do – stanu apatii duchowego odrętwienia. Dzisiaj terminem tym określa się często „kryzys wieku średniego”, dotykający żonatych mężczyzn ...

Regenerative medicine has greatly progressed, but tendon regeneration mechanisms and robust in vitro differentiation protocols remain to be elucidated. Recently, explant co-culture (CO) been proposed as an model recapitulate the microenvironment driving development regeneration. Here, we explored standardized for production storage of bioactive tendon-derived secretomes with evaluation their te...

In the context of music composition and production using MIDI sequencers, wind instrument tracks are built on the synthesis of music scores that have been written using whether MIDI keyboards or mouse clicks. Such modus operandi clearly handicaps the musician when it comes to shape the resulting audio with the desired expression. This paper presents a straightforward method to create convincing...

The objective of this work is to find the melodic line in MIDI files. Usually, the melodic line is stored in a single track, while the other tracks contain the accompaniment. The detection of the track that contains the melodic line can be very useful for a number of applications, such as melody matching when searching in MIDI databases. The system was developed using WEKA. First, a set of desc...

Recently, Microsoft introduced a game interface called Kinect for the Xbox 360 video game platform. This interface enables users to control and interact with the game console without the need to touch a controller. It largely increases the users’ degree of freedom to express their emotion. In this paper, we first describe the system we developed to use this interface for sound generation and co...

We present a novel, real-time system for exploring harmonic spaces of musical styles, to generate music in collaboration with human performers utilizing gesture devices (such as the Kinect) together with MIDI and OSC instruments / controllers. This corpus-based environment incorporates statistical and evolutionary components for exploring potential flows through harmonic spaces, utilizing power...

Electronic commerce has gained importance over the last years, but only a few digital products can be sold and delivered over the internet. These products need security to be protected against pirates who could sell copies over the internet without any loss of quality. MIDI files are an excellent example for such a product: They are rather small and expensive, making them ideal for downloading ...

The video discusses Machine Rhythm, a program which emulates human rhythm perception. Given a musical performance represented as a MIDI stream, the program determines the program’s rhythm that is, it decides the meter of the performance, the rhythmic value of each note, and the location of barlines. The basic orientation of the video is to demonstrate applications of the program; more theoretic...
