This paper, we present the publication of our analysis data and analyzing tool based on the generative theory of tonal music (GTTM). Musical databases such as score databases, instrument sound databases, and musical pieces with standard MIDI files and annotated data are key to advancements in the field of music information technology. We started implementing the GTTM on a computer in 2004 and e...

Musicologists and linguists have often suggested that the prosody of a culture's spoken language can influence the structure of its instrumental music. However, empirical data supporting this idea have been lacking. This has been partly due to the difficulty of developing and applying comparable quantitative measures to melody and rhythm in speech and music. This study uses a recently-developed...

Alternative notation approaches become more and more popular. Animated notation is one of them. It is popular mainly because it seems easy to apply. On the other hand, practice shows that classically trained musicians, composers and musicologists tend to reject or misunderstand this kind of music notation. Furthermore some musical performances based on animated notation should face the question...

Résumé thinking, therefore, demonstrates that there is no logically coherent basis for the invention/ convention distinction that is all too often used to support the traditional belief that a musicologist’s sole task is merely the second-level analytical interpretation of musical compositions already so inventively brought into being by artists. This is an attitude that neatly excludes musicol...

Links to a broad set of online resources for music educators, including such areas as individual musicians and groups in all genres, composers and composition, sites related to performance, and the commercial world of music.

We present a set of web-based user interfaces for explorative analysis and visualization of classical orchestral music and a web API that serves as a backend to those applications; we describe use cases that motivated our developments within the PHENICX project, which promotes a vital interaction between Music Information Retrieval research groups and a world-renowned symphony orchestra. Furthe...

Evaluating computer music research from the system point of view has not been established because of the subjective nature of music. In order for such research areas to evolve and prosper, we believe the evaluation method based on objective understanding is essential. We started and propel RENCON (performance rendering concours), a world-wide-landmark-project tobe, in order to seek and propose ...

The aim of this paper is to propose an interdisciplinary classification of digital audio effects to facilitate communication and collaborations between DSP programmers, sound engineers, composers, performers and musicologists. After reviewing classifications reflecting technological, technical and perceptual points of view, we introduce a transverse classification to link disciplinespecific cla...

Dealing with music in audio-visual media leads the researcher traditionally to its non-diegetic occurrence first, that is offstage music. Its interplay with the visuals and its special perceptual circumstances have been largely discovered and analyzed by practitioners, musicologists, and psychologists. Its role is mostly an accompanying, annotating one that emotionalises elements of the plot or...
