Perspectives on digital music edition, heritage preservation, annotation and analysis
This article brings together the contribution of the participants in a Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) of the COST Action EarlyMuse (CA21161) which took place at the IMF-CSIC in Barcelona (June 2024). The discussions involved different aspects of projects with digital music edition, annotation, analysis, and the problems related to preservation of music heritage, with particular attention to the situation in Ukraine. The diverse geographical…
There’s More to Timing than Time
The TIME project: Timing and Sound in Musical Microrhythm (2017–2022) studied microrhythm; that is, how dynamic envelope, timbre, and center frequency, as well as the microtiming of a variety of sounds, affect their perceived rhythmic properties. The project involved theoretical work regarding the basic aspects of microrhythm; experimental studies of microrhythm perception, exploring both stimulus features and the participants’ enculturated exper…

Norske folkemusikkarkiver står foran utfordringer vedrørende å gjøre sine samlinger tilgjengelige på nett når feltopptak faller i det fri etter 50 år. Denne artikkelen beskriver et forsøk på å tilrettelegge brukskopier i form av lydfiler slik at brukerne kan lytte til enkeltopptak i en nettpresentasjon av et arkivs innhold. Lydklassifiseringsteknologi er i stand til å finne og markere starttidspunkt på enkeltmelodier og spare arkivpersonalet for …
Emotions, Mechanisms, and Individual Differences in Music Listening
Emotions have been found to play a paramount role in both everyday music experiences and health applications of music, but the applicability of musical emotions depends on: 1) which emotions music can induce, 2) how it induces them, and 3) how individual differences may be explained. These questions were addressed in a listening test, where 44 participants (aged 19–66 years) reported both felt emotions and subjective impressions of emotion mechan…
Timing Is Everything…Or Is It? Effects of Instructed Timing Style, Reference, and Pattern on Drum Kit Sound in Groove-Based Performance
This study reports on an experiment that tested whether drummers systematically manipulated not only onset but also duration and/or intensity of strokes in order to achieve different timing styles. Twenty-two professional drummers performed two patterns (a simple “back-beat” and a complex variation) on a drum kit (hi-hat, snare, kick) in three different timing styles (laid-back, pushed, on-beat), in tandem with two timing references (metronome an…
Interaction features for prediction of perceptual segmentation
As music unfolds in time, structure is recognised and understood by listeners, regardless of their level of musical expertise. A number of studies have found spectral and tonal changes to quite successfully model boundaries between structural sections. However, the effects of musical expertise and experimental task on computational modelling of structure are not yet well understood. These issues need to be addressed to better understand how liste…
Reflections towards a generative theory of musical parallelism
Parallelism plays a core role in Lerdahl and Jackendoff's (1983) GTTM, as it rules the emergence of motivic, metrical, grouping and even formal structures. Due to the high amount of detail and complexity characterising associational structures, neither explicit model nor systematic methodology of parallelism-based structural inference has been included into the GTTM. This paper develops a methodological and computational answer to this problem fo…
Taxonomic categorisation of motivic patterns
The issue of pattern description in computational models for motivic analysis is closely related to the cognitive debate on categorisation, in which are traditionally opposed “well-defined” and “ill-defined” categorisations. The ill-defined conceptualisation has been considered as a suitable framework for the formalisation of musical categorisation as it takes into account motivic variations. It seems that computational models rely rather on well…
Segmentation of Tunisian Modal Improvisation
This study is aimed at an exploration of segmentation strategies through a comparison between listeners' reactions and predictions estimated using computational models. In a listening experiment, Tunisian subjects of various degrees of expertise were asked to listen to a traditional Tunisian improvisation and to indicate in real time the perceived segmentation, first on a global level and, then, on a more detailed level. In parallel, the same pie…
Motivic matching strategies for automated pattern extraction
This article proposes an approach to the problem of automated extraction of motivic patterns in monodies. Different musical dimensions, restricted in current approaches to the most prominent melodic and rhythmic features at the surface level, are defined. The proposed strategy of detection of repeated patterns consists of an exact matching of the successive parameters forming the motives. We suggest a generalization of the multiple-viewpoint appr…
Exploring Relationships between Level of Mental Retardation and Features of Music Therapy Improvisations
The present study sought to identify relationships between musical features of music therapy improvisations and clients' level of mental retardation, using a computationally-based method of analysis. 216 improvisations, contributed by 50 clients, were collected in MIDI format. Clients were divided into four groups according to their level of diagnosed mental retardation: 1 = none, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe or profound. 43 client-related …
Multi-Dimensional motivic pattern extraction founded on adaptive redundancy filtering
We present a computational model for discovering repeated patterns in symbolic representations of monodic music. Patterns are discovered through an incremental adaptive identification along a multi-dimensional para-metric space. The difficulties of pattern discovery mainly come from combinatorial redundancies, that our model is able to control efficiently. A specificity relation is defined between pattern descriptions, unifying suffix and inclusi…
