A computational approach to rhythm description - Audio features for the computation of rhythm periodicity functions and their use in tempo induction and music content processing

Gouyon, Fabien (Date of defense: 2005-11-30)

Aquesta dissertació tracta del ritme musical. Més exactamente, tracta de programes informàtics que extreuen automàticament descripcions rítmiques a partir de senyals musicals d'àudio.<br/>Presentem nous algorismes per a ...

A computational approach to studying interdependence in string quartet performance

Papiotis, Panagiotis (Date of defense: 2016-02-01)

This dissertation proposes a computational data-driven methodology to measure music ensemble interdependence - the degree to which musicians interact and influence each other’s actions in order to achieve a shared goal - ...

Automatic Classification of musical mood by content-based analysis

Laurier, Cyril François (Date of defense: 2011-09-19)

In this work, we focus on automatically classifying music by mood. For this purpose, we propose computational models using information extracted from the audio signal. The foundations of such algorithms are based on ...

Aquesta tesi recull la recerca al voltant de les pràctiques musicals mitjançant xarxes d'ordinadors realitzada al Grup de Tecnologia Musical de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra a Barcelona entre l'any 2001 i el 2005. Parteix ...

Content-based audio search: from fingerprinting to semantic audio retrieval

Cano Vila, Pedro (Date of defense: 2007-04-27)

Aquesta tesi tracta de cercadors d'audio basats en contingut. Específicament, tracta de desenvolupar tecnologies que permetin fer més estret l'interval semàntic o --semantic gap' que, a avui dia, limita l'ús massiu de ...

Exploring interactions between music and language during the early development of music cognition. A computational modelling approach.

Salselas, Inês (Date of defense: 2013-04-26)

This dissertation concerns the computational modelling of early life development of music perception and cognition. Experimental psychology and neuroscience show results that suggest that the development of musical ...

Expression control of singing voice synthesis: modeling pitch and dynamics with unit selection and statistical approaches

Umbert Morist, Martí (Date of defense: 2016-01-29)

This thesis focuses on the control of a singing voice synthesizer to achieve natural expression similar to a real singer. There are many features that should be controlled to achieve natural expression related to melody, ...

Expressivity-aware tempo transformations of music performances using case based reasoning

Grachten, Maarten (Date of defense: 2006-11-05)

La recerca presentada en aquesta dissertació glossa sobre transformacions de tempo de gravacions monofòniques de saxo jazz preservant l'expressivitat musical. Es una contribució al processament d'audio basat en el contingut, ...

Identification of versions of the same musical composition by processing audio descriptions

Serrà Julià, Joan (Date of defense: 2011-02-23)

This work focuses on the automatic identification of musical piece versions (alternate renditions of the same musical composition like cover songs, live recordings, remixes, etc.). In particular, we propose two core ...

Melody extraction from polyphonic music signals

Salamon, Justin J. (Date of defense: 2013-09-20)

Music was the first mass-market industry to be completely restructured by digital technology, and today we can have access to thousands of tracks stored locally on our smartphone and millions of tracks through cloud-based ...

Modeling instrumental gestures: an analysis/synthesis framework for violin bowing

Maestre Gómez, Esteban (Date of defense: 2009-11-12)

Aquest treball presenta una metodologia per modelar el gest instrumental en la interpretació amb instruments musicals d'excitació contínua. En concret, la tesi tracta el control d'arc en interpretació clàssica de violí. ...
