Seminar by Emilia Gomez on MIR and Flamenco music

24.11.2008

 

Emilia Gomez will be giving a research seminar on Thursday November 27th 2008 at 3pm in room 103 of the França building with the title: "Music Analysis, Similarity and Classification based on Chroma Features: Examples of the Study of Flamenco Music"

Abstract: Chroma features are widely used in the Music Information Retrieval field for a wide range of applications. They are computed from audio recordings and they represent the pitch class distribution of a musical piece. Most of the work until now has focused on the analysis of music from the Western tradition, but we might ask if the available methods are suitable when analyzing music from other cultures. I will present some of my work on this field, focusing on the use of chroma features for harmonic and tonal analysis of polyphonic audio and music similarity. I will also put forward some research on the comparative analysis of music from different parts of the world by means of chroma feature extraction and data mining techniques. I will illustrate the talk with some excerpts of flamenco music, characterized by the presence of microtonality and a high degree of ornamentation.
