Raga identification of Hindustani music using soft computing techniques
Hiteshwari Sharma, Rasmeet Singh Bali · 2014
Raga is one of the fundamental musical concept in Indian music. It is a group of swaras (musical notes) comprising of many features and qualifiers and is described as melodic concept which is led to blossom by the musician. This paper proposes a novel method for identification of raga in Hindustani music. We have identified different key parameters for raga identification and fuzzy sets have been used for its representation. Soft computing techniques are being used for recognition of raga. This work demonstrates a modified approach by combining parameters of music with soft computing.Raga recognition has been analysed through soft computing and evaluation of the proposed technique shows that reasonable accuracy has been achieved.
