  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • DISI - University of Trento
    PhD Dissertation International Doctorate School in Information and Communication Technologies DISI - University of Trento MUSIC SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR AUTOMATIC EXTRACTION OF HARMONIC AND RHYTHMIC INFORMATION Maksim Khadkevich Advisor: Prof. Maurizio Omologo Università degli Studi di Trento December 2011 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the problem of automatic extraction of harmonic and rhythmic information from music audio signals using statistical framework and advanced signal process- ing methods. Among different research directions, automatic extraction of chords and key has always been of a great interest to Music Information Retrieval (MIR) community. Chord progressions and key information can serve as a robust mid-level representation for a variety of MIR tasks. We propose statistical approaches to automatic extraction of chord progressions using Hidden Markov Models (HMM) based framework. General ideas we rely on have already proved to be effective in speech recognition. We propose novel probabilistic approaches that include acoustic modeling layer and language modeling layer. We investigate the usage of standard N- grams and Factored Language Models (FLM) for automatic chord recognition. Another central topic of this work is the feature extraction techniques. We develop a set of new features that belong to chroma family. A set of novel chroma features that is based on the application of Pseudo-Quadrature Mirror Filter (PQMF) bank is introduced. We show the advantage of using Time-Frequency Reassignment (TFR) technique to derive better acoustic features. Tempo estimation and beat structure extraction are amongst the most challenging tasks in MIR community. We develop a novel method for beat/downbeat estimation from audio. It is based on the same statisticalapproach that consistsof two hierarchical levels: acoustic modeling and beat sequence modeling.

  • THE MUSIC of the '60S and ITS LEGACY Loïs Nathan Université Du
    THE MUSIC OF THE ’60S AND ITS LEGACY Loïs Nathan Université du Havre (GRIC EA 4314) Describing the music of the sixties and its legacy is a daunting task. The sheer volume of work produced, the number of actors: musicians, writers; and the subject matter treated in the lyrics, as well as in the music; what the music grew out of, and what it became, are enough to humble even the most avid of fans among us. We will nevertheless, attempt to propose a possible “framework” (although the term doesn’t perhaps fit the times), within which to describe what was happening, and what was being said. It will necessarily be a partial treatment. We will begin by looking at some of the musical influences on the 1960s. We can go back to Elvis Presley, born in 1935, and who grew up in Tupelo, Mississippi, and Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis’ musical influences are said to be “the pop and country music of the time, the gospel music he heard in church and at the all-night gospel sings he frequently attended, and the black R&B he absorbed on historic Beale Street as a Memphis teenager.”1 We all know the fame of Elvis. He was loved by many and feared or not so well loved by others. This may have to do with the fact that he combined the sound and style of “his diverse musical influences and (thereby) blurred and challenged the social and racial barriers of the time”2 …certainly not appreciated by everybody. He is referred to at times as a “good-natured misfit.”3 He was a trailblazer.
