VISUALIZING MUSIC: TONAL PROGRESSIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS (2008)
Arpi Mardirossian, Elaine Chew
This paper presents a music visualization tool that shows the tonal progression in, and tonal distribution of, a piece of music on Lerdahl’s two-dimensional tonal pitch space. The method segments a...
REAL-TIME MUSIC INFORMATION PROCESSING (2008)
This paper introduces music information processing as an area of research for Industrial Engineers and offers a sample of the types of engineering issues encountered in real-time music information...

SKeFiS is a symbolic (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) key finding system that incorporates pitch spelling, key finding, and a cumulative window strategy for determining key. After selection of...
Quantitative and Visual Analysis of the Impact of Music on Perceived Emotion of Film (2008)
Rob Parke, Elaine Chew, Chris Kyriakakis
This paper presents quantitative and visual methods for the analysis of the effect of music on emotion perceived in film. We discover strong, visible, and quantifiable trends in the effect of music...
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my advisors, Professors
We explore the use of the Spiral Array spatial visualization of tonal evolution through time for the visual analysis of P.D.Q. Bach’s The Short-Tempered Clavier. In particular, we analyze...

An architectural framework for interactive music systems (2006)
This report introduces the Software Architecture for Immersipresence (SAI) framework to the computer music community. SAI is a software architecture model for designing, analyzing and implementing...
Fuzzy analysis in pitch class determination for polyphonic audio key finding (2005)
This paper presents a fuzzy analysis technique for pitch class determination that improves the accuracy of key finding from audio information. Errors in audio key finding, typically incorrect...
Separating voices in polyphonic music: A contig mapping approach (2004)
Abstract. Voice separation is a critical component of music information retrieval, music analysis and automated transcription systems. We present a contig mapping approach to voice separation based...
