Features for analysis of Makam music
Barış Bozkurt · RECERCAT (Consorci de Serveis Universitaris de Catalunya) · 2012
For computational studies of makam music, it is essential to gather a list of characteristics that constitute a makam and explore corresponding quantitative features for automatic/nanalysis. This study is such an attempt where we address the characteristics for makams as defined in theory books and deduce a list of quantitative features. The target here is to evoke discussions on some measurable features other than providing complete analysis on the/ndiscriminative potentials of each proposed feature which could be the subject of a few larger studies.
