Data-Driven Music Theory: Curating and Investigating Large Corpora of Digitally Encoded Music Analyses

This dissertation on data-driven music theory is centered around curatorial practices concerning the creation, publication, and evaluation of large, expert-annotated symbolic datasets. With its primary interest in the harmony of European tonal music from i ...

Computational modeling of interval distributions in tonal space reveals paradigmatic stylistic changes in Western music history

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss, Robert Lieck

Diachronic stylistic changes in music are to a large extent affected by composers' different choices, for example regarding the usage of tones, intervals, and harmonies. Analyzing the tonal content of pieces of music and observing them over time is thus in ...

The Structure of Free Polyphony

Christoph Finkensiep

The human ability to perceive and understand music is remarkable. From an unstructured stream of acoustic input it creates a wide range of experiences, from psycho-acoustic effects to emotional and aesthetic responses. One such set of phenomena is the expe ...

ms3: A parser for MuseScore files, serving as data factory for annotated music corpora

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Johannes Hentschel

The Python library ms3 makes scores (symbolic representations of music) operational for computational approaches by representing their contents as sets of tabular files. Music scores represent relations between sounding events by graphical means. The Free ...

Automated music composition and generation system and method

Florian François Colombo

An automated music composition and generation system for automatically harmonizing digital pieces of music using an automated music composition and generation engine for multi-voice music harmonization, including a system-user interface configured to input ...

Interpreting Rhythm as Parsing: Syntactic-Processing Operations Predict the Migration of Visual Flashes as Perceived During Listening to Musical Rhythms

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Steffen Alexander Herff, Gabriele Cecchetti

Music can be interpreted by attributing syntactic relationships to sequential musical events, and, computationally, such musical interpretation represents an analogous combinatorial task to syntactic processing in language. While this perspective has been ...

Increased functional connectivity in the right dorsal auditory stream after a full year of piano training in healthy older adults

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

Learning to play an instrument at an advanced age may help to counteract or slow down age-related cognitive decline. However, studies investigating the neural underpinnings of these effects are still scarce. One way to investigate the effects of brain plas ...

Hearing functional harmony in jazz: A perceptual study on music-theoretical accounts of extended tonality

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Daniel Harasim, Steffen Alexander Herff, Gabriele Cecchetti, Christoph Finkensiep

Functional harmony is an integral part of many repertoires in the Western musical practices, including both diatonic and extended tonality. In the latter context, music-theoretical accounts suggest that the three octatonic equivalence classes (OECs) consis ...

Phantom Curves: Scientific Discovery through Interactive Music Visualization

Daniel Harasim, Fabian Claude Moss

We introduce phantom curves, a novel music-theoretical concept based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), and document the creative process that led to their discovery. In particular, we emphasize the importance of interactive web applications for musi ...

midiVERTO: A Web Application to Visualize Tonality in Real Time

Daniel Harasim, Fabian Claude Moss

This paper presents a web application for visualizing the tonality of a piece of music-the organization of its chords and scales-at a high level of abstraction and with coordinated playback. The application applies the discrete Fourier transform to the pit ...
