An algorithm for automatic pitch contour stylization is described. It is based on a model of tonal perception, such that the resulting stylization is controlled by two perceptual thresholds. The output is the sequence of audible pitch events aligned with the syllables in the utterance. INTRODUCTION Stylization is a manual or automatic procedure that modifies the measured F0 contour of an uttera...

he purpose of the article is to exhibit this fact that embellishments, despite of their lexical meaning, do not play just an ornamental role in iranian classical music, but they have an extremely important function to form the structural facets of dastgahi music; in fact, the embellishments are irremovable elements in the mentioned musical system. first of all, some brief explanations about con...

DIASS-M4C. a digital additive instrument. was implemented on the Argonne National Laboratory's IBM POWERpanllel System (SP). This paper discusses the need for a massivley parallel supercomputer and shows how the code was panllelized. The resulting sounds and the degree of control the user can have justify the effon and the use of such a large computer. DIASS, a Digital Instnrment for Additive S...

Infno is an algorithmic generator of electronic dance music (EDM) and synth pop fully implemented in SuperCollider 3, the latest generative music work in a line of ‘Infinite Length Pieces’. The program attempts to model the production of electropop and dance music styles with a closer union of parts than typical in many previous algorithmic composition systems. Voices, including a percussion se...

This paper presents current aesthetic and software development research by the authors on the theme of visualization of sound. After describing general trends and strategies in the field of sound/visual relations, the problem of the representation of time is evoked. Sound visualization is then considered as an interface for sound design and interactive music composition through the presentation...

Arguments for property dualism offer a strong challenge to materialist views, but even if they are regarded as successful, a large task remains, namely, to develop a positive account of the place of non-physical properties in the world — one that holds some promise of eventual satisfaction regarding the hard problem. After noting some difficulties in current approaches to this task, this paper ...
