Towards a Semantic Descriptor of Subjective Intensity in Music

Title Towards a Semantic Descriptor of Subjective Intensity in Music
Publication Type Conference Paper
Year of Publication 2005
Conference Name International Computer Music Conference
Authors Sandvold, V. , & Herrera P.
Abstract In this paper we present a descriptive study of perceived intensity in popular music. We have designed an taxonomy for the purpose, and created an intensity model based on low-level descriptors extracted from an objective data set, which can reliably predict a category label for the ``subjective intensity'' of most popular music recordings.
