Sonification is the science of communication of data and events to users through sounds. Auditory icons, earcons, and speech are the common auditory display schemes utilized in son…
Beneath (or beyond) the surface: Discovering voice-leading patterns with skip-grams
David R. W. Sears, Gerhard Widmer
Recurrent voice-leading patterns like the Mi-Re-Do compound cadence (MRDCC) rarely appear on the musical surface in complex polyphonic textures, so finding these patterns using com…
Psychological constraints on string-based methods for pattern discovery in polyphonic corpora
David R. W. Sears, Gerhard Widmer
Researchers often divide symbolic music corpora into contiguous sequences of n events (called n-grams) for the purposes of pattern discovery, key finding, classification, and predi…
Evaluating language models of tonal harmony
David R. W. Sears, Filip Korzeniowski, Gerhard Widmer
This study borrows and extends probabilistic language models from natural language processing to discover the syntactic properties of tonal harmony. Language models come in many sh…
