Modernizing Links Between Text and Music: Connecting the Sentiment Properties of Text with Those of Spectral Music
Jeff Lupker · Scholarship@Western (Western University) · 2019
My current research is an attempt to investigate and standardize the links between the sentiment of text and music by creating a software program which can connect these sentiment properties with those of spectral music. This is an attempt to modernize the way in which a composer writes music based on any given text by cross-referencing each word with quantitative ranking of words in terms of sentiment properties. The result will be a multimedia experience whereby the observer can listen to the sounds that are intrinsically linked the words viewed in real-time.
