This is the title of my keynote speech yesterday at the Mathematics and Computation in Music Conference that is taking place in London this week. I presented our work in the PHENICX project I am coordinating to apply MIR technologies to symphonic repertoire. This is the abstract:
An orchestral classical concert embraces a wealth of musical information, which may not be easily perceived or understood for general audiences. Current machine listening and visualization technologies can facilitate the appreciation of distinct musical facets, contributing to innovative and more enjoyable concert experiences. This presentation provides an overview of the challenges and opportunities that symphonic music poses for these technologies. We will summarize our current efforts in the improving of state-of-the-art methods for melody extraction, structural analysis, source separation when applied to this particular repertoire. Special emphasis will be given to the combination of symbolic, audio and gestural music descriptors, and to the development of meaningful visualizations designed to be exploited in off-line and live concert situations.
Among other things, I presented the work we carried out in Seville for the Exponential Prometheus opening concert of the Singularity Summit Spain, Seville, March 12th 2015.
This is a video of the event which illustrates our work in the phenicx project.
It was featured in the DIGITAL AGENDA FOR EUROPE.
