  • Automatic Recognition of Samples in Musical Audio
    Automatic Recognition of Samples in Musical Audio Jan Van Balen MASTER THESIS UPF / 2011 Master in Sound and Music Computing. Supervisors: PhD Joan Serr`a,MSc. Martin Haro Department of Information and Communication Technologies Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona Acknowledgement I wish to thank my supervisors Joan Serr`aand Martin Haro for their priceless guidance, time and expertise. I would also like to thank Perfecto Herrera for his very helpful feedback, my family and classmates for their support and insightful remarks, and the many friends who were there to provide me with an excessive collection of sampled music. Finally I would like to thank Xavier Serra and the Music Technology Group for making all this possible by accepting me to the master. Abstract Sampling can be described as the reuse of a fragment of another artist's recording in a new musical work. This project aims at developing an algorithm that, given a database of candidate recordings, can detect samples of these in a given query. The problem of sample identification as a music information retrieval task has not been addressed before, it is therefore first defined and situated in the broader context of sampling as a musical phenomenon. The most relevant research to date is brought together and critically reviewed in terms of the requirements that a sample recognition system must meet. The assembly of a ground truth database for evaluation was also part of the work and restricted to hip hop songs, the first and most famous genre to be built on samples. Techniques from audio fingerprinting, remix recognition and cover detection, amongst other research, were used to build a number of systems investigating different strategies for sample recognition.

  • Martin 1 Since Hip Hop Received National Acclaim In
    Since hip hop received national acclaim in the early 1980’s, hip hop began to branch off from its New York roots into different cities across the country. Los Angeles, California became the next site for hip hop to blossom into something great. When hip hop was first emerging, there was not coastal wars; people were simply searching for the best hip hop they could find. However, New York had been the locus for hip hop since its origination and it was not looking to be beat by the new kid on the block. Hip hop became eventually very regionalized because of the local authenticity of what was being rapped. New York had been classically intolerant of hip hop produced in other regions even from the beginning. The pioneering rappers from the Bronx initially were not accepting of rap being produced in Brooklyn. Once Brooklyn was accepted, hip hop from Queens wasn’t accepted and later Long Island. Once rap expanded beyond New York, they eventually maintained a united front of any non-New York rap. The opposition to hip hop produced outside of New York wasn’t simply disinterest, but blatant public dissing. New York clubs and radio stations wouldn’t play rap produced outside of New York and DJ’s in the clubs attacked non-New York rappers. New York writers, the foremost in the world, published articles, which described other rap as “country” and “wack.” What New York didn’t realize was that when they attacked a rapper from a particular area, they criticized the entire area.
