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 ...
Springernature2024ms3: 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 ...
2023The Structure of Free Polyphony
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 ...
EPFL2023Automated music composition and generation system and method
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 ...
2023Interpreting 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 ...
Hoboken2023midiVERTO: A Web Application to Visualize Tonality in Real Time
Fabian Claude Moss, Daniel Harasim
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 ...
SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG2022Phantom Curves: Scientific Discovery through Interactive Music Visualization
Fabian Claude Moss, Daniel Harasim
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 ...
ACM2022Hearing 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 ...
