Musical Modes, Their Associated Chords and Their Musicality [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 In this paper we present a mathematical way of defining musical modes and we define the musicality of a mode as a product of three different factors. We conclude by classifying the modes which are most musical according to our definition.

Investigating the role of musical genre in human perception of music stretching resistance [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 To stretch a music piece to a given length is a common demand in people's daily lives, e.g., in audio-video synchronization and animation production. However, it is not always guaranteed that the stretched music piece is acceptable for general audience since music stretching suffers from people's perceptual artefacts. Over-stretching a music piece will

BandNet: A Neural Network-based, Multi-Instrument Beatles-Style MIDI Music Composition Machine [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 In this paper, we propose a recurrent neural network (RNN)-based MIDI music composition machine that is able to learn musical knowledge from existing Beatles' songs and generate music in the style of the Beatles with little human intervention. In the learning stage, a sequence of stylistically uniform, multiple-channel music samples was modeled by a ...

The evolution of inharmonicity and noisiness in contemporary popular music [PDF]
Journal of New Music Research, 1-28 (2024)Much of Western classical music relies on instruments based on acoustic resonance, which produce harmonic or quasi-harmonic sounds. In contrast, since the mid-twentieth century, popular music has increasingly been produced in recording studios, where it is not bound by the constraints of harmonic sounds.

Clustering of Musical Pieces through Complex Networks: an Assessment over Guitar Solos [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Musical pieces can be modeled as complex networks. This fosters innovative ways to categorize music, paving the way towards novel applications in multimedia domains, such as music didactics, multimedia entertainment and digital music generation. Clustering these networks through their main metrics allows grouping similar musical tracks.

Exploring the Diversity of Music Experiences for Deaf and Hard of Hearing People [PDF]
arXivSensory substitution or enhancement techniques have been proposed to enable deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) people to listen to and even compose music. However, little is known about how such techniques enhance DHH people's music experience. Since deafness is a spectrum -- as are DHH people's preferences and perceptions of music -- a more situated ...

Diff-BGM: A Diffusion Model for Video Background Music Generation [PDF]
arXivWhen editing a video, a piece of attractive background music is indispensable. However, video background music generation tasks face several challenges, for example, the lack of suitable training datasets, and the difficulties in flexibly controlling the music generation process and sequentially aligning the video and music.
