Guitar Jan 1994 02.Pdf In the Listening Room Guitar for the Practicing Musician January 1994 Rogers Stevens & Christopher Thorn Blind Melon By John Stix The surprise music revival of ’93 was the reemergence and widely accepted spirit of San Francisco rock, circa Quicksilver Messenger Service and Moby Grape. Loose, live and playing around the groove is a prominent part of bands like Spin Doctors, Col. Bruce Hampton and Phish. The newest addition to this fold is Blind Melon with their hit “No Rain.” Guitarist Thomas Rogers (he goes by just Rogers) Stevens describes the band’s recording technique as “everybody just setting up and playing. “All the music is played live on the record,” he says. “We’re not concerned with getting everything just so perfect that you can’t get a shoehorn in any gap of music.” With their influences seemingly so obvious, a trip into the Listening Room for Rogers and fellow Melon guitarist Christopher Thorn was quite the opposite of what you might expect. “Babe I’m Gonna Leave song goes on and on. There’s plenty “Omaha” You” of room for them all to wank off if they The Very Best of Moby Grape Sons of Mercury / Quicksilver want to.

  • "Name That Song!" a Probabilistic Approach to Querying on Music And
    “Name That Song!”: A Probabilistic Approach to Querying on Music and Text Eric Brochu Nando de Freitas Department of Computer Science Department of Computer Science University of British Columbia University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC, Canada Vancouver, BC, Canada [email protected] [email protected] Abstract We present a novel, flexible statistical approach for modelling music and text jointly. The approach is based on multi-modal mixture models and maximum a posteriori estimation using EM. The learned models can be used to browse databases with documents containing music and text, to search for music using queries consisting of music and text (lyrics and other contextual information), to annotate text documents with music, and to automatically recommend or identify similar songs. 1 Introduction Variations on “name that song”-types of games are popular on radio programs. DJs play a short excerpt from a song and listeners phone in to guess the name of the song. Of course, callers often get it right when DJs provide extra contextual clues (such as lyrics, or a piece of trivia about the song or band). We are attempting to reproduce this ability in the context of information retrieval (IR). In this paper, we present a method for querying with words and/or music. We focus on monophonic and polyphonic musical pieces of known structure (MIDI files, full music notation, etc.). Retrieving these pieces in multimedia databases, such as the Web, is a problem of growing interest [1, 2]. A significant step was taken by Downie [3], who applied standard text IR techniques to retrieve music by, initially, converting music to text format.
