"All Cows Eat Grass" is a mnemonic used in music instruction for A C E G�the notes on the white spaces of the bass clef. The All Cows Eat G…
Synthesizing music from non-Western cultures is a problem for current music technology, which is based on constant pitch and note-oriented …
A live music event where musicians are located remotely from each other is possible through the Internet but highly constrained by network …
Sound designers, audio professionals, and musicians often spend time and energy looking for the right sound for a particular piece of music…
Standard loudspeakers transmit sound which necessarily spreads very quickly, and the control of sound projection and position is only about…
Speaker identification techniques (such as a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and a Hidden Markov Model, using cepstral coefficients as feature…
Computer games and learning environments increasingly involve humans relating to computational avatars and robots. Intelligence-modeling so…
The automatic classification of marine mammal sounds is very attractive as a means of assessing massive quantities of recorded data, freein…
It takes us years to learn our own musical tradition, and it is rare to find people who have become musically multilingual. However, by lea…
The advent of Python-based networks creates new opportunities for mobile interaction. A compelling application would be interactive graphic…
Despite many studies of marine mammal vocalizations, there is no generally accepted theory of sound production by whales or dolphins, and o…
Building on well-developed data visualization techniques, audio is used to enhance understanding by improving the brain's ability to parse …
In the constant cycling between centralized and distributed processing in which the centralized VAX gave way to the distributed PC now givi…
Modern music education program for children emphasizes the importance of creating a rich music environment in which children become involve…
High-quality sound in professional audio production has required large ASICs or power-hungry DSPs to get the work done. Even the MPEG-4 aud…
Digital music libraries are constantly expanding, thus making it increasingly difficult to recall a particular song in the library, let alo…
Mood classification is very subjective. There have been many psychological studies performed throughout the past century relating to music …
AudioVortex is an interactive audio spatialization installation that explores the difference between sound propagation in an open space ver…
A musical piece typically has a repetitive structure. Analysis of this structure will be useful for music segmentation, indexing, and thumb…
Modular Sound Blocks offer a way to create, design, and explore sound and music. Essentially a programming environment for music with a tan…
We aim to computationally model the meaning of music by taking advantage of community usage and description�using the self-selected and nat…
The human singing voice is the oldest musical instrument, yet it is one of the most difficult to simulate convincingly. Using signal proces…
There have been many attempts at developing generative music systems. Rule-based methods generate a limited range of consistent but repetit…
New, streaming, sound-encoding technologies are starting to fill the demand for low-bandwidth transmission of audio over the Internet, but …
String instruments are typically close-miked, to capture qualitative presence in recordings. This has been impossible for woodwind instrume…
This project examines the psycho-acoustic bases of the perception of musical structure by human listeners. Computational models will be bui…
This project investigates the nature of mental representations of musical structure through cognitive study and machine modeling. These mod…
The emergence of digital music on the Internet requires new information-retrieval methods adapted to specific characteristics and needs. A …
Our hearing mechanism is very good in ignoring redundant sounds and parsing complex auditory scenes. This is a subject that has been extens…
What can you learn from listening to the radio all day? We are working on a music and language acquisition system that constantly monitors …
Different people respond to and query for music in vastly different ways. Someone's favorite song is only barely recognizable by another: t…
