Recent advances in deep neural networks have enabled algorithms to compose music that is comparable to music composed by humans. However, few algorithms allow the user to generate music with tunable parameters. The ability to tune properties of generated music will yield more practical benefits for aiding artists, filmmakers, and composers in their creative tasks. In this paper, we introduce De...

This article offers a theoretical foundation for cognitive behavioral music therapy in forensic psychiatry. First, two cases are presented to give an insight into music therapy in forensic psychiatry. Secondly some background information on forensic psychiatry is provided. The Risk-Need-Responsivity model is explained as a starting point and the role of music therapy in this treatment is explai...

This demonstration paper presents a novel content-based music search system that accepts a query containing multiple tags with multiple levels of preference (denoted as an MTML query) to search music from an untagged music database. We select a limited number of most frequently used music tags to form the tag space and design an interface for users to input queries by operating the scroll bars....

We propose a new catalog-based speech-music separation method for background music removal. Assuming that we know a catalog of the background music, we develop a generative model for the superposed speech and music spectrograms. We represent the speech spectrogram by a Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) model and the music spectrogram by a conditional Poisson Mixture Model (PMM). By choosi...

This article advances a descriptive model of the relationship between music played percussively and fundamental locomotor movement patterns that originate in the vertebrate phylum, including human motor development. The model incorporates four categories of developmental movement patterns, borrowed from classificatory schemes well established in the fields of movement education, training, and a...

This study provides validity evidence for the MUSIC Model of Academic Motivation Inventory (MUSIC Inventory; Jones, 2012), which measures college students’ beliefs related to the five components of the MUSIC Model of Motivation (MUSIC model; Jones, 2009). The MUSIC model is a conceptual framework for five categories of teaching strategies (i.e., eMpowerment, Usefulness, Success, Interest, and C...

patients and methods this blinded clinical trial was performed on 60 patients admitted to icu following cabg. patients intubated and those under mechanical ventilation were unable to report their pain. the study population was randomly divided into two groups of control and music intervention groups (preferred music listening). in the intervention group, preferred music (including classical, in...
