My Visit at Stanford Arbee L.P. Chen 1/6/03 2/8/03
The Environment • My Host : Eleanor Selfridge-Field at CCARH • CCARH and CCRMA • Center for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities (Director: Walter B. Hewlett) • Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (Director: Chris Chafe) • My Office: The Trailer
Activities • Gave a talk at Music 253/CS 275A on “Music Information – A Database Perspective” • Gave a talk at the CCRMA Colloquium on “The Effectiveness Study of Music Retrieval Approaches” • Attended Music 253/CS 275A classes • Attended Johan Sundberg’s talks • Attended the Database Lunches with a discussion on “Optimization of Continuous Queries in a Data Stream Management System” • Advised Unjung Nam on audio retrieval • Discussed with researchers at CCARH, including David Huron, Eleanor Selfridge-Field and Walter Hewlett
Lessons Learned • Music notations: MIDI/MuseData/ SCORE/Finale/ Kern/MusicXML • Music modeling at CCARH and the MAKE Lab • Various tools (links from http://www.ccarh.org) • Cakewalk: MIDI sequencer with a conversion to staff • Humdrum/Kern (Beyond MIDI) #MS1# • Themefinder ( CIM 11) • Music Animation Machine (http://www.well.com/user/smalin/) • Finale/SharpEye: from scanner output to MusicXML to MIDI (http://www.recordare.com) #MS1# • Music analysis • Sachiko Deguchi: Koto Score - Japanese traditional music structural analysis (http://koto.sapp.org/) #MS1# • Masato Yako: CIM 11 • Jane Singer: CIM 12 • Emilios Cambouropoulos
Lessons Learned • Music analysis • Music often composed as: A A A B A A B A B C A C end • number of consecutive repetitions of A reduced from 3 to 2 to 1 • Habituation Theory • variations of A exist • Prototypical melody (searching for center) • Phrase segmentation (CIM 10) • Johan Sundberg: making sense of music and music emotions (http://www.speech.kth.se/music/) #MS1#
Documents Obtained • Three books • Music, Cognition, and Computerized Sound: An Introduction to Psychoacoustics • Composing Music with Computers • The Cognition of Basic Musical Structures • Computational Music Analysis System (http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/cbms/) #MS1# • Four Issues of Computing in Musicology • Papers • Unjung Nam • Jane Singer • David Cope
Plan for Future Research • Audio Music Retrieval – Calvin Yan and Unjung Nam (Ryan) • Music Segmentation (Jesse) • Approximate Matching (Irene) • Music XML Modeling (WenWen) • Polyphonic Music Analysis (Greg) • Music Structural Analysis (Lance/Eddie) • MIDI and MuseData (Jie)
