Automated Representations Of Temporal Aspects Of Electroacoustic Music: Recent Experiments Using Perceptual Models
Hirst, David · Minerva Access (University of Melbourne) · 2015
Within this paper we firstly examine the determination of a number of temporal aspects of Electroacoustic Music, and their representations. Then various automated segmentation methods, for Harrison's Unsound Objects, are investigated. We find the multi-granular approach outlined by Lartillot et al, combined with the use of MFCCs, is a very efficient and salient segmentation strategy for music structured predominantly according to timbre. Further, the 'Contrast' parameter is both versatile and effective in determining the granularity of segmentation.
