Correlational Harmonic Metrics: Bridging Computational and Human Notions of Musical Harmony
(2015-04-08)
The goal of this paper is to show that traditional music information retrieval tasks with well-chosen parameters perform similarly using computationally extracted chord annotations versus ground-truth annotations. Using a ...
A Computational Model of Music Composition
(2015-05-17)
This thesis documents my research into formalized score control, in order to demonstrate a computational model of music composition. When working computationally, models provide an explicit formal description of what objects ...
A Graphical Theory of Musical Pitch Spelling
(2018-06-29)
Based on the conventions of staff-based music notation, musical passages that sound alike can often be written down in multiple ways, with each representation being considered a different "pitch-spelling". In this thesis, ...
Computational Harmonic Analysis and Prediction in the Bach Chorales
(2016-06-21)
During his lifetime, the Baroque composer J.S. Bach harmonized more than 300 chorale melodies, which collectively have become a pivotal body of music in Western music history and exemplify the composer’s groundbreaking ...
Modeling Musical Influence Through Data
(2018-06-29)
Musical influence is a topic of interest and debate among critics, historians, and general listeners alike, yet to date there has been limited work done to tackle the subject in a quantitative way. In this thesis, we address ...
Order Out of Chaos: Randomized Heuristics and Their Application to the Harmonization Problem.
(2018-06-29)
Music harmonization is a difficult problem. If you take a melody, and you assign chords to each note in that melody, how do you judge the quality of that chord progression? Furthermore, if you then assign notes within each ...
