Fishing for complements with chord, scale, and rhythm nets

The aim of this paper is to argue that complementation is an operation similarly fundamental to music theory as transposition and inversion. We focus on studying the chromatic complement mapping that translates diatonic seventh chords into 8-note scales wh ...

The Structure of Free Polyphony

Christoph Finkensiep

The human ability to perceive and understand music is remarkable. From an unstructured stream of acoustic input it creates a wide range of experiences, from psycho-acoustic effects to emotional and aesthetic responses. One such set of phenomena is the expe ...

Insights Into the Dynamics of Vegetated Alternate Bars by Means of Flume Experiments

Giulio Calvani

Alternate bars are bedforms recognizable in straight or weakly curved channels as a result of riverbed instability. The length and height of alternate bars scale with the river width and the water depth, respectively. During low water stages, alternate bar ...

Hearing functional harmony in jazz: A perceptual study on music-theoretical accounts of extended tonality

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Daniel Harasim, Steffen Alexander Herff, Gabriele Cecchetti, Christoph Finkensiep

Functional harmony is an integral part of many repertoires in the Western musical practices, including both diatonic and extended tonality. In the latter context, music-theoretical accounts suggest that the three octatonic equivalence classes (OECs) consis ...

Growth, timing, & trajectory of vortices behind a rotating plate

Diego Francescangeli

The presence of aerodynamic vortices is widespread in nature. They can be found at small scales near the wing tip of flying insects or at bigger scale in the form of hurricanes, cyclones or even galaxies. They are identified as coherent regions of high vor ...

Learning music composition with recurrent neural networks

Florian François Colombo

Throughout this thesis, we are interested in modeling music composition. To do so, we study the association of music theory concepts with the learning capabilities of recurrent neural networks. Especially, we explore numerical formalizations of music so th ...

The Jazz Harmony Treebank

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Daniel Harasim, Christoph Finkensiep, Petter Harald Ericson

Grammatical models which represent the hierarchical structure of chord sequences have proven very useful in recent analyses of Jazz harmony. A critical resource for building and evaluating such models is a ground-truth database of syntax trees that encode ...

The Learnability of the Grammar of Jazz: Bayesian Inference of Hierarchical Structures in Harmony

Daniel Harasim

Musical grammar describes a set of principles that are used to understand and interpret the structure of a piece according to a musical style. The main topic of this study is grammar induction for harmony --- the process of learning structural principles f ...

The pleasantness of sensory dissonance is mediated by musical style and expertise

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Tudor Popescu

Western musical styles use a large variety of chords and vertical sonorities. Based on objective acoustical properties, chords can be situated on a dissonant-consonant continuum. While this might to some extent converge with the unpleasant-pleasant continu ...

Transitions of Tonality: A Model-Based Corpus Study

Fabian Claude Moss

Tonality has been the cornerstone of Western music-theoretical discourse for centuries. This study addresses the subject, using traditional music analysis, data-driven corpus methods, and computational models, concentrating on historical changes of tonalit ...

Distant Neighbors and Interscalar Contiguities

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Daniel Harasim

This paper studies the "integration" problem of nineteenth- century harmony the question whether the novel chromatic chord transitions in this time are a radical break from or a natural extension of the conventional diatonic system. We examine the connecti ...

The Effect of Feedback on Chord Typing

Pierre Dillenbourg, Bixio Rimoldi, Adrian Dan Tarniceriu

The amount of visual feedback when using a mobile device in a busy context is often limited. For example, while texting and walking in a crowded place, we need to focus on the environment and not on the phone. A way to type fast, accurately and with limite ...

An Optimal Linear-Time Algorithm for Interprocedural Register Allocation in High Level Synthesis Using SSA Form

Paolo Ienne, Philip Brisk, Ajay Kumar Verma

An optimal linear-time algorithm for interprocedural register allocation in high level synthesis is presented. Historically, register allocation has been modeled as a graph coloring problem, which is nondeterministic polynomial time-complete in general; ho ...

Optimistic chordal coloring: a coalescing heuristic for SSA form programs

Paolo Ienne, Philip Brisk, Ajay Kumar Verma

The interference graph for a procedure in Static Single Assignment (SSA) Form is chordal. Since the k-colorability problem can be solved in polynomial-time for chordal graphs, this result has generated interest in SSA-based heuristics for spilling and coal ...

Assessment of structural evolution of aggregated soil using neutron tomography

Lyesse Laloui, Laurent Vulliet, Azad Koliji

The advanced non-destructive method of neutron tomography, together with image analysis, is used to evaluate the structural evolution of an aggregated soil during one-dimensional compression tests. Aggregation of primary particles is a commonly observed ph ...
