Music players for personal computers are often featured with music visualization by generating animated patterns according to the music’s low-level features such as loudness and spectrum. This paper proposes an emotion-based music player which synchronizes visualization (photos) with music based on the emotions evoked by auditory stimulus of music and visual content of visualization. For emotio...

This research study focuses on the classification that may be accomplished through detection of human facial expression using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The network is able to classify emotions and play music based user's identified expression. suggested approach successfully implicitly classifies into happy, sad, angry, disgusted, fear, neutral by leveraging architecture. By playing...

This paper introduces LyQ, a sensible music player that may change the way you experience music. Music listening will no longer be passive like the radio, nor manipulative like hand-picked tunes on your stereo. LyQ provides music-on-demand based on a single line of input in natural language to describe what you want for the moment. For example, enter ”I am throwing a dance party tonight!”, and ...

describe new technologies. Of course, these dreams have never quite come about as planned. Instead of a smart machine seeking out music tuned to my tastes, I still have only a small number of choices on my radio dial. And ever since Napster started filtering, sharing music on the Internet has become increasingly difficult. One thing that underlies these ideas is their dependency on metadata, or...

Exposure to high levels of music that could lead to music induced hearing loss (MIHL) has been of recent interest especially for young adults, considering their excessive use of personal listening devices such as MP3 player. More attention should be drawn to MIHL for noting that early noise exposure leads to earlier onset of presbycusis. In search of appropriate and safe listening habits for yo...

Recently, content-based techniques using a signal itself as a query have been required to efficiently identify an unknown music signal. This paper addresses a solution for “query by example” such as the content-based music information retrieval. In this work, only a few seconds’ duration of the music signal is used to recognize the unknown polyphonic music by matching it to preindexed audio ref...

Game music has the potential to be much more than a passive element of the background. The music can and should affect the game play. The game play can and should affect the music. The player’s actions can and should influence the direction and evolution of the music. By tightly linking game play and music, the player becomes much more immersed in the experience, and new creative possibilities ...

Inspired by the dramatic and emotional effects of film music, we aim at integrating music seamlessly into interactive immersive applications — especially in computer games. In both scenarios it is crucial to synchronize their visual and auditory contents. Hence, the final cut of movies is often adjusted to the score or vice versa. In interactive applications, however, the music engine has to ad...

Abstract—Music has always been an integral part of human’s daily lives. But, for the most people, reading musical score and turning it into melody is not easy. This study aims to develop an Automatic music score recognition system using digital image processing, which can be used to read and analyze musical score images automatically. The technical approaches included: (1) staff region segmenta...
