the historical background of the dastgāh concept, and the process through which it replaced the maqām system, still remains a major question in the history of persian music. it is usually vaguely assumed that both concepts of the dastgāh and the radīf were introduced to persian music during the qajar era. the present paper is a first attempt to shed light on the issue through a historical music...

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...

Objectives of the study As changes in the distribution channels of music, the online platforms become the most popular and most important channel around audiences all over the world. But in the meanwhile, pirated music on the Internet is a great threat for the licensed digital music services. Especially in China, due to the audience’s lower willingness-to-pay and the rampant pirated music, musi...

This paper presents Search Inside the Music an application for exploring and discovering new music. Search Inside the Music uses a music similarity model and 3D visualizations to provide a user with new tools for exploring and interacting with a music collection. With Search Inside the Music, a music listener can find new music, generate interesting playlists, and interact with their music coll...

 Environmental enrichment is one of the methods for improving fish growth performance. In the present trial, the effects of both light color and music on growth performance and survival of goldfish (Carassius auratus) (initial mean weight: 4.15±0.08 g) were investigated for 2 months. Two light color treatments (red light and white light) and three music treatments (M0: without music, M30:30 min...

In this study, we propose a semi-supervised speech-music separation method which uses the speech, music and speech-music segments in a given segmented audio signal to separate speech and music signals from each other in the mixed speech-music segments. In this strategy, we assume, the background music of the mixed signal is partially composed of the repetition of the music segment in the audio....

Computers are now powerful enough and data sets large enough to enable completely data-driven studies of Schenkerian analysis, the most well-established variety of hierarchical music analysis. In particular, we now have probabilistic models that can be trained via machine learning algorithms to analyze music in a hierarchical fashion as a music theorist would. Most of these models, however, onl...

The aim of the present work is to perform a step towards the design of specific algorithms and methods for automatic music generation. A novel probabilistic model for the characterization of music learned from music samples is designed. This model makes use of automatically extracted music parameters, namely tempo, time signature, rhythmic patterns and pitch contours, to characterize music. Spe...
